The only application to support it is currently Deskbar-Applet.
That's mainly because NewStuffManager is pretty new out there and I'm
currently lacking time to implement support for additional applications.

This should perfectly work. Are extensions and presets stored somewhere
in the user's home directory? Otherwise, there are some issues getting
write access.

Indeed, it is pretty new. But as I mentioned before for the beginning
NewStuffManager could be an optional dependency. If actually more people
use it (what hopefully will happen with Deskbar-Applet having that
support in Gnome 2.18) I can figure out if problems exist.
And Jokosher including support for NewStuffManager, will definitively
help there.
The problem is if nobody is willing to work with a more or less
"untested" version it won't get major either.

I'm currently working on supplying packages.
