Btw, is this always active in the background? Does it take "much" power?

The camera button works, but the proximity sensor does nothing, actually it does not seem to work anymore: when I launch the phone app and cover it, the screen does not blank...
Is this possibly a bug induced by proximityd, or an unrelated problem with my device, and/or the PR1.1 update ?

It works perfectly. Good job. On the other hand, I don't find it to be very useful.
What I really like to see is the following function:
1. No matter what state the N900 is in, either running some other applications or in screen saver mode, when I press the camera button, it brings me to the phone application.
2. When there is an incoming phone call, and I press the camera button, it answers the phone call.
After all, this is a cell phone, right? I want to be able to use it as a phone just like other cell phones. To be honest, I really don't see much value in having a shortcut to bring up the dashboard. It doesn't save me much.
Edit:
Just saw the following. Can't wait to see the new version. Thanks!

Or will it apear in the settings Menu?
Hmm... it could be useful to integreate it in Post #16 or just a shortcut there to reach the control panel.
(just another kind of idea)

By the way, if someone (with graphics skills) wants to create a nice icon (png 48x48), that would be very welcome

Potentially something to discuss about. Please, don't judge to hard!

Okay, second try. It's only a suggestion. So at the moment without a transparent layer.

I thought I wait for some feedback before I upload more files.
You and hopbeat have to decide. Is this the right direction or is it to ungly or someone could get a wrong idea of the application?
Could you see at this icon the purpose of shortcutd?
Whats your opinion?
What about a minimized dashboard view without a N900 symbol around?
