And about geolocation search from left sidebar. It's the same depency.

all the photos from a selected album directly on the map (in the right tab,
are displayed only selected photos). In future, maybe we can extend the
libkmap code to show the selected photos al large thumbnails and the
unselected photos as small thumbnails. Also, the user will have the
possibility to close the right and left side-bar and have more space to
observe his photos and make operations directly on the map (specially
netbook users, because they already have little display space).

About removing the geolocation tool from left/right sidebar, this is your
call, I really don't know what to say about this.
