[winswitch] Applet startup error

[Jonathan Huizingh]

I have installed the beta version (12).  Is that what you wanted?
When I started Window Switch from the menu, the applet now shows up
and I am able to connect from another system.  I look forward to
playing around with it when I have some more time.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

Thanks,

Jonathan
