splash-set-0.4 is out! :-)

http://webonaut.com/temp/splash/files/splash-set/port-0.4.tar.bz2
http://webonaut.com/temp/splash/files/splash-set/splash-set_screenshot.png

manly gui and usability enhancments (in my opinion) - still no automatic
activation of ramdom feature but more use of the gnome-library
(e.g. the thumbnail view is now GnomeIconList)

0.6 will be then ready for a real port. :-)
