CepiPerez - I was thinking about it, but as qwerty12 said back when he made his open source clone of the FMTX status menu applet, not all of the closed source blobs on the N900 are so easy to clone that you could easily replace it. That said, if you or someone else feel they can, more power to you, and that's certainly something I recommend aiming for.

MohammadAG: Any chance of seeing this in the official repos, instead of just as a download link? (Also, I can't seem to find wget in the repos? Do I have something set wrong? I have Axel [the command-line download-manager] installed. Could I just use that? If so, what additional complications would that bring? Would I have to specify a download path with axel and then a path to the file with dpkg -i?)
