Well, first off, there's a new version in extras-devel.

* Added support for landscape/portrait rotation - see http://wiki.maemo.org/Rotation to enable it
* Increased icon size to be more finger friendly, also adjusted scrolling to 'stick to paper' for pelago
* Added finger scrolling to the category manager
* Some improvements in scaling the fonts
* Gui tweaks: added strikeout when out shopping and notes boxes have lines
* Fixed QVariant bug spotted by Andrew Olmsted
* Added basic website and some help text to garage http://shopper.garage.maemo.org/
* Lots of code tidying by Erik Hovland

Now, @khaug are you exiting by clicking the x in the top right corner? I think there is a bug in Qt4.4 I'm digging. Meanwhile could you exit using file/quit and see if that works.

I think I see how you're getting the "file:///home/user/home/user" problem... it should be fixed in 0.5.7
