I notice that Growl notifications won't display whilst XBMC is running. I'd really like Growl notifications to continue to work whilst XBMC is running.
Is this a bug or done deliberately based on how XBMC has been ported?

Scripts can't (easily) add things to the context menu, no.
They can, however run in the background, and if they really want to can steal controls and move 'em around etc.
They can also popup information at any time they like, fullscreen or otherwise.
So yes, they are somewhat "semi-sandboxed" in that they can interact with the UI in just the ways that we define in the python API.
Cheers,
Jonathan

jmarshall: That might be enough, really.
Although if they could complement the contextual menu (even in a secondary menu accessed through a "Work on item" that pops up the contextual menu scripts) it could open a lot of functionality (the subtitle thingy I mentioned is real, as could be other things done on files).
Still, what you've said is already good enough to try something when we have scripting working in the OSX port.
