To make the browser's back/forward buttons work is a challenge to each
AJAX-driven web application. Remember Gmail had the same problem in
their first beta and now they fixed it. It's possible to fake the
browser history in order to get correct javascript calls every time the
user clicks on those buttons. It's on my todo-list to implement a work
around that enables the correct behavior of the browser history.

Just note that we are aware of that problem and it will be fixed.
