Contact Lookup Applet (Fame And Glory)
The totally wonderful (some would even say "rad", but not me!) Ubuntu Linux became the first distribution I know of to ship contact-lookup-applet this week, when WartyWarthog was released in preview form. This did tickle my funny bone, as Ximian/Novell paid for its development via a Bounty. I've been informed [updated, thanks Luis] it will be in Novell Linux Desktop (due "soon") and SuSe 9.2, and there are rumours it will be in FC3 too.
What more proof do you need that RPM-based distributions are inferior?

Hum sorry but contact lookup applet is in mandrake cooker contrib repository since 3 weeks now. So yes we want more proof :)

I think that Ubuntu Linux link would be better off pointing to http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ rather than the .com address it currently goes to...

Plop -- Cooker contrib doesn't count as it isn't supported, and if we are counting development branches it has been in Debian experimental since 2004-08-16. :)
moZer -- inferior to dpkg-based distributions, obviously!
Sits -- doh, thanks. I write blog entries offline so can't check URLs...

suggestion for preferences: it would be nice to be able to search in more then just one addressbook. selectable by checkboxes or... whatever. btw: this is a really nice applet ,-)

fast -- one step ahead of you. My local branch does multiple book searching, and I will change it to read from the autocomplete addressbooks preference in Evolution.

cool! then i just have to wait for your next deb-package ;-)
thanks for your really fast response and of course for your work!

All I want to know is why the contact lookup applet doesn't work anymore. It was only cool while it worked. Even more bothersome is the fact that settings in my .bash_profile don't take effect. I've been able to set my path by setting it in .gnomerc... but these things just bug me intensely because everything else seems to work so well.
