I can speak for Xournal.
Latest version is of course the one in extras-devel.

Xournal is a port of the well know desktop application with the same name. You may want to play with Xournal on a regular Linux desktop to see how many tools and settings are missing from the UI (and that I want to bring back in the Maemo 5 version).

All of the code is there, what's missing are the UI elements.

They can be easily grouped in Tools, Journal and Settings main 'areas'.

I've thought of several ways to bring them back:

* a button on the toolbar that brings up a new window with Tools elements. The window has a menu that would let users switch to the Journal window or the Settings window back and forth.

* different toolbars with different actions on them. Clicking on a button will select that action (like it does now), clicking a selected action would bring an "option" setting dialog for that particular action.
Each toolbar would have a visual way to indicate you can switch between different toolbars (for example '<' and '>')

* no toolbars at all, screen fully dedicated to the notes.
Sliding the finger from the border will make a toolbar/<whatever UI element> slide from the border (like the Mouse mode in Browser).
This new UI element will then either follow the "different toolbar" solution or the "stackable windows" one.
