Yes, with 2.0.1 we think it will last for the next couple of month until HEAD 
(gideon) is in a usable state.

Glimpse is very special because it is only permitted to be used 
non-commercially. That is the reason htdig is used as an alternative since 
two years and maybe the version of glimpse has changed the parameters. If you 
have some time, could you have a closer look here and maybe send in a fix so 
we can put that in the FAQ to use glimpse from your version up ?

Yes, that is a very valid argument. It should be changed to the way that the 
dialog stays top-level like the setup wizard is until the documentation 
generation is finished. This will be changed in 3.0.
