I don't really understand any of the window management myself. Tellico uses 
quite a bit of the underlying KDE libraries for creating dialogs, managing 
windows, finding icons, etc. I'm not sure what you mean by "running 
instance of KDE", but Tellico does require kdelibs to run. I know of many 
people who run Tellico within a GNOME environment.

Sorry, I don't know what rbash is. Tellico doesn't really have anything to 
do with the shell being used.

I'll check those ISBN values. Like I've written before, ISBN matching is a 
bit hard, and Amazon sometimes will return a result for a book with a 
different ISBN. So Tellico thinks the ISBN does not match, but you may see 
the search result you expect.
