Well, I'm not seeing that. Also, this is Linux. What's with the constant talk about reflashing? That's like the Microsoft way of solving things. I haven't reflashed my N900 since I got it back in 2010, and I've done some crazy **** with it.

Dont worry about some people who left or leave you negative comments they are just emotional and sad because they thought they lost a brilliant gem you and just got upset and upsetted you! I'm sorry for any hurt it might have caused you but please dont feel bad but fell good that there are hundreds and thousands of people who really appreciate all your hard work!!!
What might be more sad is what the community he contributed to turned out to be when he disappeared to handle some life bumps, anyway, this'd turn to an argument if it goes on *pulls plug on this discussion*
My MIA made me consider things to prevent more of this every time I have an exam at uni (every three months).
I've created a public/private key combo which I added to my garage account, these can be used to upload packages as me.
I trusted merlin1991 with the keys since he's familiar with uploading to CSSU Stable.
If and when I go MIA again, an email would be sent to me, if I don't reply within 24h, merlin1991 would push an update with my account using those keys.
Sorry about all this, hopefully it won't happen again.

@demolition, what are those UI swiping in from left and right? I cannot find info about them and my MicroB do not react on any swipes, other from standards of course - history and pointer, which reacts only in landscape mode.
You start by putting your finger at one side of the screen and swipe the entire screen to the other. Note that you have to cover the whole screen (as in literally from edge to edge) and not just a portion of it for it to work.
As to what it does, here goes some nifty functions:
- Using your finger and making twirls on the screen: Zoom.
- Clockwise motion: zoom in.
- Anti-clockwise: zoom out.
- Swiping the screen from left to right: Brings out a mouse pointer in which if toggled, you can use it to select text. Useful when you have a large body of text you would like to highlight and copy.
- Swiping from right to left: Opens up your browsing history.

It works if u pay your attention on putting your finger directly on the Tochscreen (the black 'bar' instead on cover if u are in portrait mode) and swipe from left to right. You could try it with your stylus pen first.

Hildon Desktop / Device UI
One of the best features of the CSSU, right from the beginning has been the ability to toggle UI editing state. The default state is editable so it's really easy to accidently move or delete things on one of the desktop screens. The CSSU made it possible to "lock-down" the UI, which was a massive improvement.
There are some things I'd like to know...
- When the state is un-editable, is it possible to turn off the little gear-wheel that pops up when a blank bit of the desktop is clicked?
...
I think cssu team should consider make this editing state configurable via Gconf like the editing mode in the menu (aka hildon-desktop/breaking apmefo and catorise).

It wasn't overly clear in the post you quoted but the problem only started when CSSU was updated. Battery still seems to be going okay with current setup.
ed_boner:
Have you tried looking at the battery output from lshal/ /sys entries. AS has been stated already, batteries deteriorate yada.. yada.. Fully charge the device and find the entries for the design charge and current charge which IIRC are in mWh. If you are still getting the 85% reading, compare it to current/design*100.
zzzchainzzz:
Try to aim slightly above the address bar. It works okay but seems quite sensitive as to where you need to swipe.

To disable:
Code:
gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/key-actions/disable_edit -t bool true
