If I set Alt-F10 to maximize the window, then yes, running the unmodified 
cuecat over the barcode results in the search dialog getting maximized, 
then the bar code gets converted to an ISBN and the search runs.

So what do people think, should I try to swallow the Alt-F10 key combination 
in the search dialog and take it away from the window manager? I'm not even 
sure that could be done, but maybe with QKeyEvent or something. Is that the 
right thing to do? I guess if it's smart, it could check if the CueCat 
input comes after the Alt-F10 within a certain amount of time...
