Hmm, I'm only saving the window size, and not the window position, so its up
to the window manage to place it somewhere. works for me (kdm). maybe
I should make this configureable.

I'll take a look at it when I have the time.

Jep, I know. have to redo this sometime. I really have to make them very
small...

Hmm, theoretically it should, but maybe hugin crashes on exit. you can edit
the size in the config file.

Have to write a general sorting listview (since the default wxWindows
listview doesn't support it.... AARGGHH).

Jep, that would be an nice thing to have.
