It's awesome, but I've submitted a patch to lower the requirement to
GTK+2.8 and wonder what side-effects it will have.

Request:
* Please merge it with t-s-t - my ideal place is between the search

actually struggled to find where it can be found by point-N-click.

PS. I see it was inspired by beagle-preferences, or not?

thanks for the work...
