No, Qt is not thread-safe, but there are lovely workarounds.

Yes, a browser component could be really useful - so that you'll have
your yahoo account in Magellan as well.

Initially it was thought to be developed for personal use, with very few
features. A kind of "learning how to use Qt". As the project became
bigger and written documentation came in handy to even read the config
file, we decided it might be worth to make it public.
No bazaar development, however. At least not one with me included.

Yes, I'll make a few screenshots, in a couple of weeks, if that's okay.
I need them anyway for the project website.
