Yeah, I just realized what the problem is (strangely enough it does seem 
to work for me): the minicmd plugin is an internal plugin, which means 
that gtk_widget_get_toplevel() returns the panel window, but for an 
external plugin it will return the plug window.

I probably need to add something to the plugin library.
