not bad, not bad at all ¦-)))
ok, i have a 64GB µSD card & beside a couple ext2 partitions (as "backup" locations for system files, obviously) i added an extended partition with two Linux swap partition and see there... Flopswap found them!
good job.
this being said, while i am running my shell scripts to change the the swap partitions i also always run free and... used swap hardly ever exceeds 128MB
am i using my beloved N900 (still my primary phone, though i use Jolla device for an Android app that i depend upon) so lightly?
maybe i don't use the N900 quite as much as i used to, except for texting, IM.ing and calls (also VoIP).
just installed Flopswap thus will see how often it advices me to refresh my swap but i wonder...
on another, slightly related topic... Neo900 will have 1GB of working memory; will this not be like on PCs with 16GBs where swap is hardly ever used?

ouups, slight problem...
on one hand printscreen of Flopswap...
on the other hand...
maybe a little optimistic?
59112 / 999952 * 100 = 6%
the 5MB would be a closer match... for the % (5.91)
Edit: okay, just noticed that the apps displays the used fragments of the swap partition, indeed, thus not memory use; after opening MicroB, mail, some Skype IM the numbers increase dramatically (obviously)
still, think the app is a little on the low side of the actual number...

I decided that the standard maemo busy menu bar indication was better, as you could leave the application minimized.
I will look into confirmation on device swap, I maybe able to do that with a standard maemo dialog message.

) unless someone really needs more memory (which can be done then manually by that person), am I right?

Still remember that 'free' will never equal flopswap values, as I think you understand this is calculating fresh unfragmented swap not used swap or free swap.

Regarding the latest interface, I think the two frames in the middle may lead a new user to believe that the data is refreshed automatically or periodically. Without them, she was "forced" to press the buttons.
Suggest putting "There must be..." text at the top in the Quick Guide, because it is critical information; the rest is redundant if the "must" condition is not met.

I have been meaning to comment in the same vane, so thanks chill. There is redundancy now... interface issue of course, not function.
