Hm, but refresh is not really an "Edit" action, and flush is not really 
a "View" action. Anyway, I added toolbar icons for both actions (since this 
does not change any translatable strings, and is an easy change, I'll merge 
it into 0.4.5, too). Another good think would be a context menu for the 
output, but that would introduce new strings and other complications, so we 
should wait for the next release, here.
Do you think with the addition of the toolbar items (another make install is 
needed to see them) this is ok to keep for 0.4.5? Or do you think it's still 
an issue needing fixing?

Actually, I don't remember. I've stumbled across this before, but could not 
make up my mind, which one to keep, and which one to throw away. Opinions?

No, nothing is cancelled, when you close the plugin. Maybe, what we need would 
be some detection of commands that run very long, and then offer an 
opportunity to kill them after 20 seconds have passed, or so.

Indeed. Should be fixed, now.
