I don't use the bookmarks or contacts much either.

I did some experiments and got the entries to delete but the task switcher doesn't expand and gets confused.

If you look in .osso/hildon-desktop/tasknavigator.conf it lists the items. If you edit the file to set for the relavent button nothing seems to happen.

It looks like there is a sanity check which stops changes and resorts to a hard coded default. If you look in desktop.conf and comment out the line: (you may have to reboot afterwards) you can then disable the buttons.

Then changing tasknavigator.conf has an immediate (or almost immediate) effect but with the side effect that the task swicther doesn't like it.

Anyone know how to get task switcher to behave after the change e.g. tell it the new height in a config entry?
