Which do you think will garner results faster?
  • reporting through official channels with details
  • stating "this program doesn't work" in one thread with numerous other complaints without any specificity

Go to http://maemo.org/packages and search for the offending app, then use the "Report a bug in this project's bugtracker" link. If they don't have a valid bug tracker, then it is a bug. In that case I would imagine a contacting the developer directly or a thread devoted specifically to that app would be better than this cluster f*cked melting pot.
I think the idea of this thread was to ascertain which apps have known issues after pr1.2, to give those people who are having issues a quick reference point and to delete those apps if applicable.
It appears that a lot of the minor bugs people are encountering following the update could be solved by removing some of the non-compatible apps. This also solves the problem of endless threads being started.
