Hi Antilles, et al,
Having been a 770 owner before recently getting an 810, believe me, I do appreciate the maemo guys, and your own many helpful contributions on the forum. I appreciate also the wry humour. I found the applet behaviour on the 770 non-ideal, but at least it didn't have a mind of its own - as stewalton notes, the RSS applet being large area is too easily inadvertently moved (but not the only one).
I'm not a linux geek however, just an early adopter - if I were I might have a go at fixing the applet thing - but surely it should be possible to put an additional option under the home / applet settings menu for 'lock/unlock' ?
Similarly, on the 770 I loved the fact that it let me see lots of RSS feeds at a glance, whereas now I'm limited to 4. As you note, different folk will have different preferences, but whenmaking changes, couldn't a user-definable option be included to recognise this ? (And, yes, I know it's a tradeoff - the opposite extreme being the kind of bloated code that comes from a certain well known monopolist sftware provider).
So, back to topic, does anyone know if the applet issue is being progessed or not ? Or will I just have to live with it ? Thanks
Walter
