Thanks for the nice feedback!
I've got some new information regarding the recovery issue:
it seems that which server you connect to plays a major role...
If I connect to ecdsa.org, recovery from seed is 100% correct from the first go!
Can anyone try and confirm?
I seem to remember that ecdsa.org uses different protocols than the other servers,
but am not too savvy on the details...

I tried version 0.42f and it works great. It seems faster to me
Restore from mnemonic code works fine now (imports also contacts properly). Seed sequence is not working (same as before).
I personally liked previous fonts more.
Thanks for your efforts, flatfly!

Sure, 'monospace' is not a valid font name under Windows - so, when making my package, I replaced the references to it with 'Lucida Console' (which is one of the built-in monospace fonts for Windows)
New build is up! Version 042f with a couple of nice little improvements (see top post for change list and download link)
hi, nice screenshot!
would you mind sharing how you got the fixed font working with windows?

Yes I'm still encountering this with the latest version...
Let me know it you need more detail from me.

there is a wallet.update() call in the recovery procedure.
it waits for an event (threading.Event)
perhaps the threading module is not completely supported by Windows?
I'm not sure, but I'd be surprised if this was the case.
I made further tests and can confirm the issue is still there.
The balance shown is then incorrect, as well as the details of the most recent
transactions - actually, I've just noticed that even some of the addresses shown in the description
column are not the correct ones (until I manage to fully sync everything)! Really strange...
(the current workaround is simply to restart/resync the client a couple of times).
Hey,
Ctrl+C is a neat trick! Thanks!
0.40 binary (from BTCurious) also restores "contacts" tab, so i guess this is a default behaviour.
Cheers!

Glad to know that the icons are fine now, and thanks for the donation!
Regarding wallet restore, I've been getting the same results... Hopefully, we'll get a fix for this soon.
The contact list cannot restored using the seed only, if I'm not mistaken, so I guess
it has to be backed up separately, if necessary. Perhaps thomasV can confirm.
And regarding copy/pasting Transaction Details, it's already possible! Ctrl-C works, even if the contents
are not selectable. Try it and paste in Notepad to test!

Hello.
Icons work great now, thanks! I had to try pending icon also, so you should have received a little donation from me : )
Regarding wallet restore: If I ignore "No transactions found for this seed" and open and close program for about 5 times, "History" and "Receive" tabs get all the data, but "Contacts" tab stays empty.
And a little request: is it possible to make content of "Details" window copy / paste-able? For example if you double click on transaction, you can see status, ID, input, output - but user is not able to select that data and copy / paste it.
Thanks.

@mila: no admin rights are required to use this build.
there is no actual "installation" involved - just some decompression of the source files
to the "Application data\ElectrumP" profile folder. I guess we can call it portable
(if used with the -w option).

This build should help with the little icon issues 
Initial decompression should be a bit snappier as well.
Try it out and let me know.

Strange, recovery from seed works fine for me, I've just tested it again.
One caveat though (which is actually not a new issue):
I do get the message "No transactions found for this seed" once the recovery is done.
Ignore it, and close and reopen Electrum. It should then sync fine. (Once, I had to close
and reopen it 2 or 3 times before everything was fully synchronized - but still, it didn't take
more than 30 seconds total)
Regarding the icons, I'll try rebuilding the RC file. Thanks for the tip, Thomas!

youre right, missing on my 7 x64 too
Few quirks:
I found out that i can't restore from seed (words or code) with 0.42 binary
and
Few icons still don't work for me - it behaves the same as with 0.40 binary:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.797218
I also found out, that icon for unconfirmed transaction (unconfirmed.png) is not showing either. Again, it's the same with 0.40 previous binary builds.
I am on XP 32bit SP3

you dont make sense to me, but ok. a socks port isnt tunneling. let me know.
u have tunnel the entire system like a vpn, or a socks tunnelizer
seems exactly what I'm running (open local port and it what uses it shows up on the other side of the ssh connection in the server)
I'll post a test review. thanks for the replies
u have tunnel the entire system like a vpn, or a socks tunnelizer
i dont think it escalates to admin but it doesnt support proxies
ok, I'm also tunnelling part of my traffic through local socks proxy. can I specify a local port to use?
(or no support for proxies means that neither a local port can be specified?)
