Checked in a workaround for Bug#5956: winXP menubar icons have black background, which I introduced awhile ago.
Helped Grant with bug to fix a failure some (most?) developers were seeing in the functional tests
Fix Bug#6119: Search in toolbar missing on Windows XP and later. This turned out to be the dreaded CPU hogging bug that was caused by a text bar in the toolbar, which caused us so much grief in the past. I was lucky to find a very simple solution, which improved on David's previous buffered window fix for XP. I'm hopeful that we can get it submitted back to widgets.
Made substantial progress on Bug#6127: detail view too big on startup
Narrowed down the cause of Bug#5243: removing events from the preview area confuses sidebar painting.
I suspect Bug#6127 or Bug#5243, might also be responsible for Bug#5373: sidebar appears in grey chrome on mac upon restart
