Hi Tom,

sorry for late answer, I was busy this weekend. I would love to help you 
with your first steps in GTG.

The bug you chose should be not hard to solve if you have some 
experience in writing python code and/or a little bit of GTK. If not, it 
is still doable but you would need to study a bit first. As the first 
step I would suggest you to play with others plugins to see what's 
possible. Be sure you understand the bug and you read all the comments.

Second, write a small spec like: There should be only settings window 
where I can set X and Y. I want to add a button there and there. Just 
few sentences to clear your thoughts.

Afterwards, there will be coding :) Probably we would need to change 
some behavior or add a missing method into plugin API. I would like to 
do that.

Looking forward to your contribution,

Izidor
