In the Flash version, I have observed a substantial delay between a kibitzer arriving at a table and his presence being listed as visible to others at the table.
And there is no "refresh" button so you are entirely at the mercy of the server to ensure that this listing is up to date.
I think that this is quite serious. Sure, If you are table host you can control the position by requiring permission to kibitz, but that is no help to non-hosts. A similar observation may arise when they leave the table but are still listed as kibitzer. That is perhaps less serious, but any solution to one will presumably solve both.
I only observed the problem when a non-listed kibitzer started chatting at my table.
As a solution, either the delay between auto-refresh should be reduced, or a refresh button should be placed on the who is online panel (or both).

The list of kibs refreshes when you click the Kibitzers tab.
