...well, I thought so, to but notice the following:  in the first try  
I used [pix_freeframe Chromium.frf] and in the second [pix_freeframe  
Chromium]

error: GemException: couldn't load FreeFrame-plugin
pix_freeframe Chromium
... couldn't create

...so it seems that instead of just appending .frf, it's appending \;  
also?  I haven't figured out why yet, so maybe you have an idea...?

...also, without knowing too much about the freeframe spec, I'm  
wondering if there's a way to get or "register" the default values,  
or even the range of the individual parameters?  Would be nice to  
create an auto-setup kinda abstraction...
