Just a few quick notes as I'm just noticing this thread:

- a Xournal Fremantle version is dang near enough to make me consider getting an N900 (need ATT-3G though).
- the designed icons look great, espeically the shaded last ones; however, they do need to follow the Human Interface Guidelines for Maemo 5.
- should be interesting to see the menu system get simpler as that was my main complaint for the Diablo version. Hopefully, the navigation principles espoused in the HID also help out that aspect here so that there's even less of a need to design a menu for everything.

Here's an off the wall suggestion for panning: attach it to the accelerometer and the hand button. User press-holds the hand-button on the menu (bottom right perhaps), and then shifting the device physically u/d/l/r the screen moves in that direction. Releasing the finger from the icon locks the position. This would require tracking the device axis, but there's an accelerometer so that could very well be doable (and innovative).
