It have a few annoying things (which I believe you are aware already):
- on the wiki you recommend starting it by typing "bigboard" at a 
command prompt, unfortunaely, bigboard will not launch in the background 
(not even using "bigboard &") and if you close the terminal, also the 
application is closed. A better way is to press Alt+F2 to gett the Gnome 
"run" dialog and type "bigboard" there, but this leave you without a way 
to close the application.
- if I talked about application close, is there a way to close the app 
without killing it? I didn't saw a "close" button.
- another annoying thing is the window placement: bigboard is not the 
single most important item on the desktop to have it in the top-left 
corner of the screen, so it would be useful if it allowed me to drag the 
panel to the right border of the screen.

With those said, I noticed a minor problem (which again, I think you are 
already aware): having bigboard open, I went to my mugshot profile, 
noticed the addition to picassaweb to account settings and configured 
it. Bigboard noticed this addition to my profile only after a restart.
