How well you know me.

I'd also like to take care of the Preferences layout and such since
the two are interrelated, and it's the kind of thing I can work on
fairly easily.

I have no GObject familiarity (though I need to learn Mousepad anyway,
I'm beginning to suspect) so it may take me a little time till i'm
learned up enough to contribute any code of signifigance. But since
development is just starting that seems like it will be fine.
