Quite a few users seem to be confused about what to do once qgvdial starts the first time. I've tried to make it self explanatory, and I think I need to set up something like tooltips for the first run.
Maybe the About page needs to link to some form of helpful help.

I'm not sure I follow you here... Most of the settings *are* on one screen.
The debug link is on that screen.
It's the same screen as the login/logout button and mosquitto and all that.

That helpful help link is beginning to sound like a good idea now.

I think the "back" button needs to be clarified: It's the top bar that says "qgvdial". I've made a fix in devel that changes the text from qgvdial to the equivalent of "back". Hopefully that should clear up things.

Btw: New build!
I've mostly been working on the Symbian side of things and most of the changes in this build are to ensure that none of the Symbian changes crap out on Maemo5 (or Linux or Windows).
There are obviously some fixes that actually help - such as the "back" fix mentioned above. Plus there's the usual slew of bugfixes.
Not a lot has changed functionality wise. Just made some things look better and more cross-platform.
