"I'm in the process of improving the Kasbar taskbar replacement,
and as there seems to be a fair degree of interest I thought I'd

kicker meant that the time was ripe for Kasbar to return, so
over the weekend I ported the code to the new API."
"My first port was just that: a direct port of the original
Kasbar applet code, but once I had it working properly I began to
add some new features. ..."
