The settings dialog is only for changing options directly and are not stored. If you want to make changes permanent do it in panucci.conf. I don't think I'll change this behaviour.
It was some moved settings code but i think I fixed it. https://github.com/xerxes2/panucci/c...72f700e45ca9a2 Also, when you find bugs run panucci in a shell and see if it spits out some errors. That way I can fix the bugs very easy.
What bugs?
It will definitely look prettier with icons but yes there could be a problem with not knowing what they do. On maemo it'll only be icons without text like in the player window.
