What happened to best?

It's been a while since I installed Arch.. just did a fresh install including beagle.  Everything is fine but the best front-end seems to be missing.  At least it seems to have been replaced with beagle-search instead.  Was this intentional or did I miss something with the install?

Best used to reside in the dock bar in fluxbox but beagle-search doesn't seem to do that.  Also, F12 doesn't relaunch it for me..  Any workarounds?

Yeah,
to me this change from best to beagle-search doesn't seem an upgrade but downgrade. Just hitting the F12 key was so easy, now I have to click around..

Same problem here with xfce. Beagle-search don't go anymore in the systray, and F12 (or any other shortcut) has no effect.

I use beagle 0.2.1-2

I'll wait for a new version. Or maybe someone has a workaround ?
