The sidebar has become a bottom bar, wasting precious vertical space and not as easy to customize nor as versatile as the old one (eg for "screen" commands)... and even on a N810, it doesn't give much more screen real estate than on a 770/N800 with the virtual keyboard, because of all the space wasted by useless status bars.
+1 - you're not the only one who thinks this about os2008's osso-xterm... it's a *downgrade* over any os2007 version....

<sigh> i can't really complain though... at least it's better than nothing?

(but i would dearly love a true X environment on the NIT, even if we only had rxvt)....
