At James: What is the recommended approach to embedding inside Browse these
days?
In the past, I simply modified the HOME_PAGE_GCONF_KEY to use a copy of
musicblocks included in the bundle. Do you recommend removing some
unrelated Browse functionality, such as the search bar? Do you think it is
worth modifying Browse itself to make it easier to do this sort of
embedding?

regards.
