Could you elaborate on this?

Basically:

1. What the problem is.
2. What it should do.
3. What do you think will fix the problem.

I just read your PM, and it wasn't very clear, either.

(Also, if it's a problem with an application try filing a bug report first: bugs.maemo.org )

If you don't want anyone to read your messages, why not set a lock code and lock the device before leaving it unattended?

lock code is not the solution..
i used a software phone guard on my symbian phone and was expecting a similar software on n900

problem: The conversations are no more private as anyone who picks up my phone can view that.

what it should do: 1. it should hide conversations. 2. it should make conversations inaccessable.

what should fix the problem: 1. program that can password-protect the conversations. 2. any widget or command line in the x-terminal making the conversations accessable and inaccessable. 3. any other secret method which a user may know to access conversations..
