I have to disagree here (sorry)
Aegis does not prevent you from messing around with files, but it brevents you to start again afterwards, and even mroe, it prevents you from fixing your mistake.

Up to now I haven’t figured out a reason for the existence of this Aegis function except making developers and users angry.
I would accept if it does prevent you from modifying/replacing protected files, or restoring them at the next boot. IMHO it should replace modified files at boot, or at least give you the possibility to fix it.
As it is now, reflashing (and loosing all your data, if you do it with the one click flasher) is the only "great" solution Nokia figured out

Anyways, that second link is the only dangerous one, I buried it in a wall of text and I doubt dpkg is going to let you install that without open mode. So it's probably not even dangerous, but just to be safe, never try to install it until you flash the kernel and are sure you're in open mode after a reboot.
Does this mean I still can use Conky, without modified kernel but with flickering? That would IMHO be ok, at least for now.
(I am just sick to have to reflash all the time and I really miss backupmenu like on the N900 where I just could restore the previous backed up system).


Update:
I just installed it + 2 needed dependecies.
Beside the flickering, it seems to work fine, also after a reboot Aegis allowed me to continue beeing happy...

Attached a screenshot.

A suggestion:
The background is quite disturbing.
I personally would prefer a single color or a gradient since it makes it far easier for reading the data.
Despite of that, the background picture does not match the screen size (black border at top/bottom).
