IMHO, you should at least make labels bigger and restore proper scrolling or, if there is such an option, return the old Library interface.
The volume key scroll works in the library, but the tap scrolling doesn't - I'll try to dig into that one as well.

Yeah, I've found that - it's still supposed to be using the hildon notifications, but the upstream author looks to have tried to abstract out the handling of all the UI-specific code, and has made a complete mess of it (so the UI-specific code doesn't actually get reached). I've been trying to work around it all this evening, but I've not found a clean solution yet - I may have to make a nasty hack for now
