1- If you select a running task in BOINC Manager and the task claims having a graphics application available, the Manager will make the "Display graphics" button available. Pressing it will launch the task's graphics application. (The old way was to let the task's process open its graphics window, the new way is to let the managing application launch a new child process with the graphics executable.) (BoincView was also capable of launching them, it was willing to launch graphics app even for preempted (but in-memory) tasks - technically there was no problem doing so.)
2- I do not see it in 1.09 - was it recently added for 1.10?

I just installed beta 1.11 and I cannot see it. It´s really a minor thing, but nice to have. And if you implement the "User definable number of digits after the decimal point in the CPU % and progress column" it would be great if this applys also for the gadget window.

:D The column is there, just missing the % sign (I hope that it is enough for Tom_unoduetre to see it in the column header).

Well, I was more thinking of having it behind the value itself rather than in the column. But as said, that´s a really minor thing
