BTW I have this issue only on the mac: I don't see it on Linux.

Transform mode movements are a little weird... No matter what the
orientation is, the movements always follow the green/red/blue axes. I guess
this is by design, but it seems really counter-intuitive and hard to use to
me. 
I also noticed a bug:
- launch blender and go in transform mode
- move the object a bit
- switch to front view using the View menu:
- notice how the object "gets lost": it disappears completely from the
view... And I am not able to find it anymore!

I finished the changes for Linux - will post the new plugin and patch in a
little bit. Sorry for the delay.

I will have Windows only for tomorrow (Wednesday) evening PDT time, I can't
test my Windoze code until tomorrow.

I agree.

I agree. I will prepare separate zip files for the plugins with LGPL text
and a readme file briefly explaining how/where to install the plugin.

Let me get back to you about this. Apart from the readme files, I believe
blender.org will show 3Dconnexion logo on the website somewhere...

Code wise, the only thing I will do for now is put a 3Dconnexion copyright
in the Linux and Windows sources next to the LGPL block.

I hope it will be ok if it's Wed evening PDT. As I said, I really have no
way to test my Windows stuff until tomorrow.
