I played around with this for a little bit. I've added the SexyIconEntry, replaced the Next 20/ Previous 20 with icon'ed buttons, moved the "Search" label, and added a combo box that is dynamically filled with tracker's Services. I'd prefer this route to using the tabs...I not crazy about showing the categories of the results in tabs or a treeview. I actually like how the Ubuntu (I think it's just Ubunut specific) "Add to Panel" dialog is laid out[1], and think that would be a good model to follow. I'm attaching my changes to the glade and C code, and a screen shot for anyone who doesn't feel like running the code. Also, what's with the text view at the bottom?

Yeah, deskbar-applet uses an inlined copy of epiphany's entry code to get the icon-entry functionality (atleast I think it is epi's). If we are merely talking about inlining icon-entry code there's prolly no point in making an optional dependency on libsexy. Cheers, Mikkel
