Long enough to be counted as an "old-timer", for sure. =)

I haven't touched Vista yet - nor has it been allowed to touch me. If no one 
speaks up in here, you might try posting at ls.net; there is a long thread there

The latest dev builds (lsdev.org) were adding in sidebar support, IIRC. You'd 
have to try one of those and see how it goes. I think I tried it with the Google
