I figured I'd broken the ipod code somehow, but I was still too lazy to
install libgpod until today.  This will be fixed in the next iteration
of the patch, along with a few other things.  I just found a new pile of
gunk to remove, so it might be a while before I make it available.

I can't reproduce the problem either, so I guess we're both doing
something differently to Viktor.

I agree.  It'll be easy to change the icon once someone finds one that's
suitable.  I haven't really looked yet.

I decided to just display the number of songs in the play queue in the
source list, rather than showing the whole summary (total size and
length) in the status bar because I found that cluttered the status bar
too much.  I did like having the total play time of the queue displayed,
but I can live without it.  Does anyone have any stronger opinions on
that?
