Yeah, sorry about that. It seems that KeepNote insists on writing it's log file to that directory (which requires root access). I've already fixed that, and will update the *.deb tomorrow.

Initial impression is for my aging eyes, the icons are a little small and seem to have space to make a bit bigger.
There is an option in the preferences to use GTK Stock icons, and while that only themes a few of the icons on the toolbar, maybe that helps?

I know this is a port, but it would be great to be able to zoom the text without having to change the font size.
I haven't specifically looked at that part of the code, but fear that would require a major rewrite.

A way to hide the left pane might be useful given the limited screen real estate.
There is no quick-toggle, but you can drag either pane as far as you like e.g. drag it all the way to the left.

This looks like it could be a useful program. I don't tend to use rich formatting myself. I prefer to do all my writing/formatting in a Restructured Text. My holy grail is to find something portable that lets me conveniently organize and view my Restructured Text files (I use the moinmoin wiki on the nokia and also like sphinx on the desktop).
