This was practically never an issue before, or opening to lockscreen sometimes simply didn't cause much hassle. Now it's a bit different when you can open app launcher without unlocking, and the media player controls behave like buttons and are EASILY triggered in the pocked.

I was tempted to say Apple would never introduce something as confusing as cover swipes but then, they introduced pinch to zoom, did they not? It is also not something I would think of first. When someone handed me an iPhone with a map on a street a few years ago, I looked for buttons to zoom in, until I gave up and asked.
In OSX the right click on the mouse is off by default and I regularly come across Mac users that have never switched it on. My other favourite is windows users trying to cut and paste files between folders in a single finder window instead of using spring folders.
And if you want a really hidden feature that you'd have to know about before you used it you've only got to look at 3DTouch on the iPhone 6s. That pops up a context sensitive menu whose contents change depending on how hard you press. It makes covers actions seem positively intuitive.
This could be easily solved by Jolla. Keep multiple cover actions but make them work as buttons if pressed or gestures if dragged. They do that for actions on full screen modal dialogs already - you can either click a top corner or drag the screen. Then just make the home screen navigable by edge swipes or dragging outside of covers.

My phone opened itself in my pocket 10 times today and it's annoying the sh*t out of me...

Hi,
Little question, is there a way to clean up the events the page as a whole? And not by type of events (email, sms, etc).

Seems like many of those can be patched yes...
In other words, this is Sailfish OS 2.0:

There was a lot of hope for well designed multitasking in SailfishOS, but with 2.0 release they are moving away from it, so It will never get finished. Thus Meh.
To be honest, I was expecting more from 2.0. Not a different desktop, but a real change. For example, a complete refactoring with the primary focus on resource usage. For example I was expecting OOM disappearing completely or at least getting less frequent, not more.
