do put the application's name in the title of the preferences dialog -- 
it doesn't have a parent window, and "Preferences" is pretty generic.

if you're still wondering how to get the gui to stay responsive while 
you're fetching updates, you may want to investigate using Gnome2::VFS 
to fetch the feeds instead of LWP.  LWP is blocking, as i recall, but 
Gnome2::VFS plays nicely with the event loop.
