I just uploaded a bugfix. Try if it works for you. Over here nothing changed.

Hmm... yes, a replacement to the hildon windows manager on the N900. It should be possible but I would say no maemo developer is really interested enought in this. Sorry.
At the N9 it seems nearly impossible to me. But I'm not a expert.

It should be enought if it is only a app. Perhaps The post of Hacker could be enought for you?

Secondly i am sure you would be least interested in all this but still i typed all this with my fingers crossed .See through it if possible at any time .TIA
In the end, if we really do this... wouldn't we get at some point to a situation we really could get sued?
Currently the app is just a persiflage. So nothing useful and it looks and works differently. But as soon as it would work like the original it could get really dangerous. At least in my opionion. But I'm not a expert.

Would such a thing be possible? I bet if you made it a pro-version of your current app, it would sell like hot cakes. . .
This is possible and easily doable. Yes. I would need only to search for the apps which are needed to launch and I thought already about it. Hmm...

I will see. I need to think about it a little bit. But if you're able to you could search which commands at the terminal are needed to start the Phone / SMS and Facebook app. Hmm... okay, different code is needed at the N9 and N900.

Perhaps it is okay to launch simply some apps. But I would be afraid to make the app really functional. And I wouldn't sell it. It shouldn't get a commercial application. I'm to afraid to get at a point where it could get a target to get sued.
If you wan't to support me there is already a working store button at the N9 version. I have way better applications at the store. And a good rating is always welcome over there. If anything is not working please write me here a short message instead of a negative rating.
And donations are already welcome. The best would be to donate me just more time!

perverse ... thats the point!
