You might want to educate the user (myself included) why Flopswap can no longer calculate the fresh swap percentage. Mine did that a few times recently....A suggested fix in the yellow banner is to use alarmed/cron, but it apparently also helps to Fresh Swap again, i.e. right after dismissing the banner. Maybe the user should be told that, too.
Then the calculations hit int32 overrun.
You can still use the buttons to swap the warning is to let you know the percentage and byte calculations will no longer work correctly.
Flopswap 0.1.6 uploaded to extras-devel
A few minor fixes including...
*Fixed description in control file
*Improved int32 overrun warning
*Small UI changes, including decreasing font on Quick Guide
*Icons (See what you think about them)

The new icons are great. My favorite is the Check Status one.

Icons make for a much more interesting yet clearer interface.
Thanks

In a silly way it makes sense

A couple of points I have spotted. I was fairly sleepy when I uploaded the new version so the packages changelog has slightly incorrect information.
There is no QProgressDialog, this was the original plan but there seemed no easy way to get this to work.
I have also not full tested the int32 overrun banner fixes.
The way it should function now is upon reaching int32 overrun Check Status will show the "Busybox can no longer..." message everytime and abort the calculations.
This makes more sense than showing the banner once and then incorrect values thereafter.
Do let me know if you have any troubles with that.
Also here's a screenshot for those that haven't seen the icons

How about educating the reader as to why (s)he would want to swap to device? The new icon is suggestive, and the wiki says "This moves the swap space to the device so the back cover can be removed." but a new N900 user won't necessarily know why the back cover can't be removed otherwise.
Also, why not tell the user "you can still use the swap functions" after the int32 underrun; maybe merely add it to the current banner.

Flopswap 0.1.7 uploaded to extras-devel
*New first time dialog message for "Swap to Device"
*Updated "Quick Guide"
*"Check Status" button disabled on int32 overrun

Bug
Just to let you know I have found a very minor bug.
The new Swap to Device dialog is shown on every press, this was not the intention.
Pretty sure it's a one line fix
but I am busy working on something else at the moment.
Expect an update soon.
