After another failed attempt of fixing the disappearing widget bug I added some new features.

In the latest version, 0.4.3-2, (I forgot to change version number, so it still shows 0.4.2 in the about dialog)3 there are now options to jump to the oldest, newest and last viewed comics. It works like this:

when you browse forward or backward in a comic, the comics you view are downloaded and cached, and their information is stored in a database (csv file actually) and then you can quickly browse between the already seen comics. The jump function goes to the newest or oldest cached comic, so it's not the same as clicking first on a comic website.

when you switch to another comic (xkcd to dilbert or so) the place you were will be stored, so that you'll be able to jump back to where you were with the "go to stored comic" button.

Please note that in earlier versions there were pre-cached databases for some of the comics (xkcd, sinfest, dilbert, phd), so the jumping back will get you waay back, and since the images are not downloaded, the jump will take a while. If you don't want this, delete the csv files for said comics from ~/.comic-widget/ and you'll have a fresh install.

The buttons for jumping are (rather awkwardly) in the configuration menu, but it works fine like that. I didn't want to make the interface larger.

I'd appreciate some feedback on the texts in the buttons. Do they make sense? If not, I'm open to suggestions.
