Oh I think I see.. in portrait mode the status menu doesn't drop down.. it only comes down in landscape.. ? If the default UI doesn't do it I'm not sure I could.. would need to research that if it's possible for an app (especially python/qt) to drop that down on command. Hildon is mostly GTK stuff.. --- New version should be up soon.. I need testers on the Diablo/N8x0 side to let me know if this is working or not. The Diablo crowd is quiet. N900, hopefully, should be working better. Report back please .
