The most important question - are you running apps under the ARMEL or X86 target ? ARMEL is for compiling only, if you try to run stuff you get problems like you described.

I followed a bit of discussions about Qt, the fact that the Hildon Widgets are not written (yet) etc, but I'm facing problems that are very "weird".
Important note - some, Fremantle specific widgets are not implemented yet. Most of them (especially those present in Diablo) are present and usable.

1) I don't really manage to go online: one of my test app is a self-cooked browser and it doesn't seems to get a network connection.
Make sure that your scratchbox has network connectivity. If it doesn't work for it, it won't work for your app either.

2) The UI is unresponsive and looks like whatever I click nothing happens (or, worse, crashes)
Don't forget, you're running a fair number of emulation layers in there, so it's not really representative of the speed of things on real devices.

is the Qt4 lib available on the repositories stable?
is it advisable to compile Qt from the Git repository and try again with a fresh build of it?
If yes, which branch?
If you want the latest features, go for the git version. I would, however recommend to go for the Diablo edition for now as the Fremantle one is pretty fluid - unless you need specific Fremantle functionality. The base Qt version in both is the same.

From the GIT repository of Qt Maemo looks like a guy, Antonio Aloisio, is doing a lot of work and it would be great to have his idea here as well (Antonio, se ci sei batti un colpo - PS Ma sei di Napoli?).
Antonio follows the lists but have not seen him here recently. If you have specific questions, best to ask them on the qt4-devel mailing list.
