The Bluetooth and Connection icons should be combined, to be honest - two icons is a waste of space, and their functionality is very similar. Graphically representing the current connection state (eg. bluetooth + wifi) could be tricky but possible, given some imagination.There's a bug entry knocking around for this enhancement too...

careful with that maemo-hackers repository. I found that if I "upgrade" xterm with that repository enabled, it breaks it. Is this still true?

It looks like the infamous "freeze after 20 minutes of video" bug is fixed in this OS update. I'm well past that point in a 95 minute video I'm watching using Media Player in full-screen mode.

I think the existing enhancement request should at least focus attention on why there are two icons - it may be the right choice, it may not, or it may simply result in more appropriate terminology being used within each function in order to reinforce the distinction between the role of the two icons.
Having just checked, combining the icons is not an enhancement request in it's own right, it's merely a secondary request within bug #971. Bah!

What a mess. I'm almost glad Nokia hasn't updated Maemo 2.X for the 770 after reading all these poor people fumble through their N800 updates.
A case of history repeating itself I guess, and on a newer device at that.
