That's plain b-cuz N900's resistive touch screen, basically every resistive device has that. The movement emulates a fast "swipe" (when you put 2 fingers on a single-touch resistive screen, the actual action point is sitting in the middle)

Time to move on. If you can't afford an N950, and don't know how/where to fetch a Jolla, then head for Android reluctantly, or you're stuck. Seriously.

That's totally wrong! Please don't spread dis-information without knowing full facts!

By the end of this year, Nokia will give up on Maemo.org (including TMO) but there is a NFP being created which will continue to run this place...So it won't make too much of a difference to the common user here...

Not really, it's all software. The window manager just creates some fake "transparent"/InputOnly window over all the edges and detects drags that start from there. It would be trivially easy to reimplement (IMHO).

And AIUI it can be not a part of the WM even, maybe an application sitting on the top of all other windows could do the job too.

You say you have:
Try wayv: http://ubuntuone.com/3B9UUAfLEm8LAwP53B1Kjx or gestikk.
Maybe we could compile "lipstick" on maemo

Along these lines, does anyone know a command (terminal or dbus) to open the application menu?
I've searched and searched these forums and haven't come up with it. I was just sure I had read it somewhere before.

The command to bring up the task switcher is:
Code:
dbus-send /com/nokia/hildon_desktop com.nokia.hildon_desktop.exit_app_view
