Hmm.  Those values seem pretty reasonable (well, the height seems rather
short).

You're not running gnome-session?  If you aren't, then yeah,
registration isn't going to work.  If you are, but you're installing rb
in a different prefix than bonobo-activation, you'll need to symlink the
.server files.  Here's how I have things set up:
  
walters@columbia> l /build/rb/lib/bonobo/servers/*
-rw-r--r--    1 walters  walters      9023 2003-08-11 13:41 /build/rb/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_Rhythmbox.server
-rw-r--r--    1 walters  walters      3844 2003-08-11 13:41 /build/rb/lib/bonobo/servers/Rhythmbox_Nautilus_Context_Menu.server
walters@columbia> l /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/*Rhythmbox*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           51 2003-07-14 22:25 /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_Rhythmbox.server -> /build/rb/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_Rhythmbox.server

It's definitely possible, I did fix up some stuff relating to the paned
just before 0.4.99.2.
