Nothing big.

* Sticky Notes now appears in the Add Widget menu correcty
* Improvements to focus handling

On the latter I spent two full days...
Previously when you wanted to click on a button on a Sticky Note, you would have to click it twice sometimes: one click to focus it, and one more that actually registered as a click. This annoyance has now been fixed. (Since no sensible solution worked, I restored to a clever hack as workaround.)

[SallyJane]

Yes, the single click is much better, and is consistent so far

As far as Sticky Notes automagically changes desktop, I experienced same issue many times. Not a big problem tough, only slight annoyance. No modified Hildon for me, only power-kernel (amongst many other apps) installed.

If you can tell me the exact steps how to reproduce this, I will fix it.
Honestly, I've never experienced this yet.

Sorry, this is too vague, and doesn't make any sense to me...
The error message is caused by the installation of qt4-homescreen-loader. (Which is responsible for showing Sticky Notes in the Add Widget menu.)

What did you do to trigger this error message?

What firmware do you use?

What happens if you try to do this:
(rootsh needed for sudo gainroot)

sudo gainroot
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

If still not working, then this:

sudo gainroot
apt-get remove sticky-notes
apt-get update
apt-get install qt4-homescreen-loader
apt-get install sticky-notes

A person on IRC also recommended to remove the pelota widget if you have it because of conflicting packages.

If it doesn't work after all this mess, then download the .deb package of qt4-homescreen-loader (the ARMEL version) and install it manually with dpkg.

sudo gainroot
cd /the/folder/you/put/it/in
dpkg -i qt4-homescreen-*.deb

Hi Venemo,
thx for the reply. I am very sorry, the desktop-changing is totally random, when it happens it happens usually just after a reboot. I mentioned that because another person experienced it, so something wrong doeas exist somewhere, but I didn't figure out how to reproduce it.
About the installation problem, I simply used HAM and it reported installation faild, but funny thing is that the version currently installed is 0.2.2 beta. I noticed it because the focus is working better now, so checked the about and had the confirmation the upgrade had been done. No apps installed with apt-get commands (as far as I remember - never reflashed since NOV last year). If more details shows up, I'll let you for sure.
Thx for the great app and for your work!

Hmm... I will try to reproduce it myself.
So, usually after reboot. This gives me ideas, thanks!
Can anyone else confirm this?

I would also be interested in how many notes do you usually have on your desktops?

Wow, I like this!
Your issue has fixed itself - this is a lucky thing.
