Even if you manually downgrade to 4.7.4 the applications would not run - just crash.
Another interesting thing is that my ICQ and Yahoo accounts would not sign in. I am using skype, ovi, facebook, msn, yahoo and icq. All except ICQ and Yahoo do sign in properly.
I used to use the develper repositories ( when was with PR1.2) and had some extra apps like Openwatch, extra protocol plugins for communication and contacts and etc. But now the only extra repository I use is the maemo-extra.
Anyone similar?
I guess you need to find more recent (extras-testing ?) versions of those two apps then... Down grading just one/some of the QT libraries is not a good plan. Trying to downgrade the whole lot probably isn't sensible either.
I use WifiEye some times, so it'd be good to know it works :-)

[my N900 updated fine on WiFi at home, just rebooted]
