One observation: all other status bar applets close their popup windows when the stylus is clicked outside of the window. It would be nice if this applet did it as well, for consistency's sake.
If somebody wants to inform the group about how Nokia got those sliders into the GTK entities they did, then we're all ears.
might be stupid question, but what is the "presence" icon?

It's the icon for the default chat client (which also handles sipphone). It's usually a green/red/yellow dot if you have anything setup there. The color indicates connection status.

ah, yes, thank you. i guess i never knew it had a name. if it was to go away perhaps someone could combine it with the battery icon which doesn't have any colour purpose, the overlay wouldn't affect the battery notification.
It seems that clicking on the mute audio icon crashes my hildon desktop. it restarts after a while (white screen while waiting) but all applet layout (and the applets themselves) are gone after that. I have to reactivate them to get it working.
I very much like this applet. But I noticed that after having it running for about a day, it eats up more than 100 MB of RAM. There must be huge leak somewhere...
So for now I deinstalled it again. But I'm eagerly waiting for a fixed version.

I know exactly what you're talking about, as I had that problem in one of my debug releases... But I haven't seen it since then. Could you give me a bit more information? I'm guessing you're using my 0.8 deb on OS2008, but what hardware are you using? Do you have any other custom applets running? Does it do that consistently? Does it actually APPLY the change before it crashes, or does the mute state stay the same?
I would also ask you disable my applet, change the mute state with the original applet, and then re-enable mine and try muting with that again. If that fixes it, I may have an idea what's wrong.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I don't claim to be great at C memory management, though I went over it fairly well around my 0.6 release... It's entirely possible something added since that release is causing a problem. I'll go through it again before the 0.9 release and have a few more people look at it as well. I *REALLY* want to make this a quality applet, so if anyone else has statistics on this, please let me know. Hopefully I can get some other people in #maemo to look through it as well!

It seems that now even the original applet crashes the desktop. It has never happened before with the original one. To answer your second question. It does activate mute and then crashes. Strangely enough, it has not crashed so effectively that all I see is the white screen and it is persistent between reboots. Thankfully I can still ssh into device so I should be able to repair whatever damage has been done. At the moment all I can say is that the hildon-desktop segfaults. I will investigate further.
