Sure, that's why I can tell if it's ok to commit directly. I meant for
cleanups of current code. New features / big changes should still be 
send to me first.

Here's my unofficial policy at the moment. It's ok to commit changes if:
* it's code you wrote yourself or related to a feature you added
* it's an obviously correct fix
* we discusssed it and I said it was ok to commit
* you are Olivier Fourdan ;-)

Of course that's basically just common sense (except for the last one
perhaps ;-).

I might tak a look at it myself. I'll keep you posted. And BTW:

3) panel positioning in the dialog must offer some more options
