Thanks, mate. Admittedly, I use my applet less often these days, since
Epiphany can Google directly from the location bar. And as a full-blown
application, Epiphany gets a global keyboard shortcut, which (AFAICT) an
applet cannot. Kudos to the Ephy guys - it rocks my world!

Tip #1: Stick the Deskbar Applet in the bottom-left corner (and kick out
the show-desktop button) for maximum Fitts goodness. I've been so much
less productive when looking up anything and everything in the Wikipedia
is just a slam-the-mouse-in-the-corner away. :)
Tip #2: I just came across www.yubnub.org a couple of days ago. Add
this engine to the Deskbar Applet:
