Hm, i dont really like this, for several reasons:

- it adds one more knob to the config, the plugin wasnt meant to be more than
just a simple control client
- it would mean polling every X seconds the server to know the currently
playing track, which would be resource-consuming and require some architecture
changes. Right now, the plugin connects to the server *only* if the mouse is
over it for the tooltip or to get the status/outputs.
- how would it fit graphically in a panel ? The tooltip string length can
change *a lot*, so should the space vary according to this ? A fixed maximum
width ? Text scrolling ? All that would be ugly.


To be honest, you can also use conky to do this and display mpd status on your
root desktop window..;
