Known issues
* The result list does not expand when new matches coming from asynchronous backends appear, this affect the google live plugin, and the beagle plugin. * When using gnome-python-extras-2.10, you will be able to use deskbar-applet only in window-mode, not in the panel, because you won't be able to focus and type in it.
