Sorry for cross posting this but since this is a rather serious issue it's important that it gets seen.

This application is seriously flawed and will cause your N9 not to work properly if you uninstall it after upgrading to Harmattan PR1.2 if the application was installed when running an earlier Harmattan release.

The application replaces the home screen CSS files with its own, which is a bad idea to begin with. In it's postinst script the application makes a backup copy of the original CSS files and overwrites them with its own. In the prerm script it overwrites the current CSS files with the backed up files without checking whether the CSS files are the ones it had installed.

If you install this application when running PR1.1 it will make a backup copy of the PR1.1 CSS files and replace the originals with its own. When you then upgrade to PR1.2, the standard PR1.2 CSS files will be installed. If you then uninstall this application, this application will overwrite the standard PR1.2 CSS files with the PR1.1 files it had backed up earlier, causing your system to run PR1.2 with the PR1.1 CSS files, which will not work and will lead to serious problems.

In short, you MUST uninstall this application BEFORE upgrading to PR1.2. If you didn't and have already upgraded to PR1.2 or have already uninstalled the application on PR1.2 and the home screen malfunctions, you can restore the original PR1.2 CSS files by installing and uninstalling the attached restore-home-css_1.2.0-1_armel.deb package - there's no need to keep the package installed. This will overwrite the current CSS files with the official PR1.2 ones. Do not install the package on any other Harmattan release or if you don't need to. (Alternatively you can gain root access and do "apt-get install --reinstall meegotouchhome-nokia libmeegotouchhome0".)
