"category__not_in" doesn't seem to filter in Query Posts

   I want to use Query Posts to not show posts within a certain category. But the field 'category__not_in' seems not to be filtering at all (as seems the case with 'category__in'). 'category_name' and 'tag' for example do work.

   Another strange behavior:
   When I put the Query Posts widget in 'Utility: Before Content' (Hybrid Hook Widgets) the page in which I show this widget (#content) does also show ALL other posts after the widget. When I put the Query Posts widget in 'Utility: After Content' the page only shows the post which I've defined. Do we have a bug here?

   By the way:
   I'm using only the latest versions of WP, Hybrid and all the plugins.

   Display: the_excerpt
   post_status: publish
   post_type: post
   showposts: 5
   order: DESC
   orderby: date
   category__not_in: voetnoten

   the rest: empty

   (wp_reset_query, caller_get_posts, get_the_image not selected, because when saving these are deselected...)

   Then what do I need to do to exclude the category "Voetnoten"?

   And where can I find the exact workings and use of the different settings in query_posts?

   One last question about Query Posts:
   Do you have any idea why a selection of:
   
   wp_reset_query
   caller_get_posts
   get_the_image
   
   gets lost when I save the new settings?

   And did you see the first text of this topic?
