That reminds me that I've got the code for an SVN nautilus (GNOME file 
manager) emblem plugin (emblem's are the equivalent of the status 
sub-icons tortoise uses in windows) that I've meant for ages to rewrite 
as a darcs plugin...  One more item on the ole personal TODO list, but 
something of a lower priority because while it would look cool I don't 
"need" it.  If someone wants to take that on as a quick project I can 
forward along the Python SVN-based plugin and even a copy my Python 
Darcs wrapper, which doesn't currently have whatsnew support but would 
be a good place to start anyway.
