Revisiting this a few weeks later: I had some time to fiddle with the Google sidebar, but it turns out I'm not a very good JS hacker. :( Could we add the default Google sidebar for now and maybe I (or anyone else) could work on getting a nice Ubuntu one worked up down the road, i.e. before Edgy's release?
