I tried the patch on ubuntu 9.04 and kbuntu 9.04. As I move up to the 
widget I have to move beyond the button location onto the verse and then 
back down to the button. Sometimes the button does not immediately pop 
up and I have to move the mouse again to get them up. The extra movement 
needed detracts some from the feature.

Thanks for you work.
