One major difference in Plucker's behavior on Linux and Windows is
that on Linux you have *one* config file, while Windows seems to use
one config file for each Plucker document.

I have hacked my local copy of the desktop tool, so that it will use
the sections I have in my ~/.pluckerrc file instead of traversing the
channels directory only available in Windows. I've also added parsing
of other options to my copy.

BTW, I saw that the code only checks for db_name. That config key is
deprecated (replaced by doc_name) and it is also possible to only use
doc_file (or the other deprecated key, db_file). If doc_file is used
it should be run through basename to get the name of the document 
without the path. This might be of less concern on Windows systems,
though.

The dynamic creation of the GUI using the XML resource file is great,
e.g. change the week to start on a Monday, open the configure dialog
again (i.e. it's not necessary to recompile or restart the app) and
the schedule will show the week in a proper format ;-) Very cool!
