This ensures that infrequently I get a notification bubble saying
"Updates available" - is that what is expected ? I had expected it to
be functional in the way an Echofon or, ChromedBird works - keep
polling for updates and, provide the viewer to view the updates
It does poll, but since comic strips are generally released at least a
day apart, it polls once every 24 hours. This will be user controlled in
the next release. Are you suggesting a window that actually shows the
comic strip? I haven't thought of implementing that (yet). The glitch in
implementing this is that the different comics use different formats and
locations for the final strip image, so I'm not sure if there's a common
algorithm I can use to extract the images and display them. Adding
different methods to handle each strip individually doesn't sound like a
good idea.

A configuration file (I haven't checked if it has any) that allows me
to add/modify
It uses user specific configuration files that you can find in the
~/.loki directory. The config file format is easy to
understand(hopefully).
Thanks for trying it out!
