Well, the new browser viewer is not very important; I'll write it but the
important thing was to write a new browser class, as the new one that now
is in GWLib. It is already used by the actual Browser Viewer and seems to
work well.

I think that your fiend with some options to act as a dock is the better
solution.
I'm thinking to an other thing, too: people is accustomed to the
WindowMaker's dock appletts; how can we create some little apps (a watch,
for example) that run in your Fiend/Dock?

You should update from cvs because the api has changed a little.

I want to release a 0.4.5 with the new browser class after some debugging
and, after this, a 0.5 with your ListViewer and without the actual fiend.
