@ GA, that is a design flaw in the NIT, due to low resources available. Also, if you do that, the window pops up out of nothing once it is loaded. Hopefully solved in 'N900'/Maemo 5.

My TV also has S-Video. By default this is hidden. First of all, it collects less dust this way. Second, why show something normally not used?
This is an analogy why simplicity is sometimes better, and how a complex UI frightens a user.
BTW, if you read through the lines of this and my previous post you'll recognize the
water and fire
of the huge differences in usability paradigms between the 2 devices in question.
