Hi Cristian

Coming in here from a different angle.  Here, I've sorted out the layout 
problem with Ubuntu-type distros, by applying some settings in the 
plugin code, instead of relying on the UI file settings.  Obviously, 
Ubuntu over-rides the UI settings, presumably to make things look nice, 
even if the result is a broken plugin.  It may well be that the same 
happens on Windows, so my fix may help you.

I've got slightly side-tracked by some other minor tidyness issues I 
noticed, but I could send you a patch for you to try, if you wish.  It's 
only concerns the layout, not the icon thing your screen shot showed.
