2) I'm still missing the OSK... A few weeks ago I installed the e17-svn, but I kept getting seg faults. I could not retrace the reason. So I just installed the e17 packages.

3) I was referring to the icon with 4 squares which is in the left in the middle extractable upper shelf in illume. When clicking on it, it sometimes open a shelf at the bottom which have at the middle the same 4 squares icon. Still could not figure out what its for

4) I am using illume and pretty much enjoying it. I installed claws-mail epiphany-browser and pidgin which serve most of my needs (except for music and voip). I will report in if I find a nice finger friendly gtk theme.

TIA
1. In illume: To change the size of the top bar's icons you change the scaling. Just look in the configuration part for the scaling module setup. You can also change the icon size of the desktop and hidden icons in another part of the configuration. If you do this, remember that scaling will effect these icons too so, you may need to adjust them after you change the scaling.
2. The seg faults must have been related to the daily svn checkout you had installed (must've been a bug). I've installed it multiple times, usually without problems, but occaisionally running into problems like that..upgrading to a new snapshot usually fixes most things. If you really enjoy e17, I'd try giving the svn install another shot sometime since the results really are the best.
3. That's the window selector. Open a few applications and then click it. You should then be able to select between apps or the desktop.
4. Sounds good. Sound support should be coming to Mer soon, as I understand it...so maybe you'll have that soon.
