I have two things, which should be fixed also:

a) I fixed the WMS displacement so it now again displaces the whole map 
and not a single image, but I did not get the display right. The 
visible/unvisible decision is still done based on the unmoved pics. (I can 
live with the fact that loading is done based on original position, but 
don't understand why the display is done likewise).

b) The plugin should use caching. Maybe we can turn it off for Yahoo or 
clear yahoo cache on each program start, but a normal download cache is 
required for the autoloading/autoremoval.
