That's odd. Are you sure your session bus is functioning properly? The
plugin prints error messages about DBus connectivity problems, so
~/.xsession-errors might contain some info. You could also try running
`dbus-monitor` and see how it reacts when you send a message to the
plugin.

That's definitely the most descriptive candidate, and that's what it's
going to be. I'll import the sources in a few days, thanks!

Yeah, Brian's quite busy with other stuff, so the refactoring is
proceeding quite slowly, but the plugin should work fine with the
current svn version. It's only a matter of keeping the plugin updated.
