Great, thanks!  For A2, the following two items are left, although I wouldn't 
mind getting the kwintv config migration and event a skeleton v4l plugin done 
too.

- Full applet functionality       - A2 (it was working, but now is broken??)
- Plugin configuration panel      - A2 (already mostly done)
- Migration of old kwintv configuration - Beta
- V4L plugin                      - Beta

   Dawit also has been working on an ALSA plugin.  We might be able to sneak 
that in too.

    We could do this, but then we would need to integrate complicated logic to 
make it possible to have multiple mainwindows.  Remember that some people 
have multiple video devices.  For instance, I would like to be able to view a 
video camera and tv tuner at the same time.  I don't want to limit our 
functionality due to drawbacks of lirc's design.
