tso: That's not the marker jumping. For some reason when you stop resizing an applet it seems to jump a little bit in the direction you are going. I have endless fun trying to line up GPE-Summary, Countdown Home, Yellowsnotes, and Personal Launcher because of this. It seems to be an issue with the desktop code.

General: If I could get it in extras-devel, I would. There is an issue with libtool and relative links that I am having trouble solving.
