long version: I think the NP should be re-factored into an applet that
provides supplemental infos about the current track. The problem is,
if a user has some favorite applets (lyrics, albums, and wikipedia)
there is no room for the NP applet, and hence he cannot see what is
playing! So I wanted to move the essential info into the toolbar.
However, after talking with leinir, we decided the art is already
displayed in a couple places (playlist, CV), so the art shouldn't be
in the toolbar.

short version: decided not to, so nevermind :P

Though, I still think the np info in the toolbar looks bland.
