This needs to be done in Gtk.
If Gtk is a lot faster...Qt needs some tuning...

You can see this when rotating a Qt app, it takes some time to reposition the widgets, while Gtk apps do it quickly during the rotation transition.

I misunderstood this feature when I read it and thought that it was talking about sliding open the camera cover in order to answer the phone. But that might actually be a good idea! I.e. if the phone is ringing and the camera cover is toggled from closed to opened, then pick up the phone.

Thanks for fast understanding.
Mmmh... I would say that's half true.
Test it at a scetch application... If you put your finger on the right side of the screen and after that put your second on the left. The dot accelerate really fast, but stops exactly between your 2 fingers.
But yes, if you release your right finger now before the left the dot reachs the left side really fast.
I don't know how serious this could get. Perhaps yes, perhaps no. Perhaps we could filter it and recognize only "slow" slides... or slides that passes 5 points on the slide line and not only 3...
But anyway, it will improve the current problems.
And the next thing to think about:
The Nokia 5800 has also a resistive screen. This device had also Buttons to answer a call first and Nokia changed this behavior to slide to answer with a firmwareupdate.
I'm not sure, but I guess it was soon after the N97 got this update and slide to answer. But I don't know the facts exactly.
Anyway, I'm sure they had some reasons why they changed it!

I'm pretty sure the slowdowns are Qt-related, a Gtk rewrite would be appreciated, it's basically a daemon that needs to listen to DBus, get the number from there (same signal), then show/hide accordingly.
The challange was to support skype calls as well. I don't know
if I did it the right way, but it works. Many other developer
tried and searched for a way to accept/reject skype calls,
and didn't find an answer, so at the beginning I didn't
know if it would be possible at all.
But finally I found a way.
-the code is ugly
-the UI is ugly
-skype call handling only works if your are already connected
when starting this*.
- needs much more testing.
- no rotation support
I would be happy when someone can take over this project,
as I don't have the time to develop this further.
[*] This is a statusbarplugin, so you have to connect to skype
and then restart hildon-status-menu.
It isn't that difficult to listen to connection changes and register
the listener, so that this works even after connecting/disconnecting
to skype. I was just to lazy to do it the proper way.
