Then it would be cool if background-selector what compile selected
static images to edje. :-)

Hm, I press ALT-Tab, the window appears, the mousepointer jumps in (and
cannot released anymore by moving) and I cannot cycle through it with
more Tabs. I have to release the keys and press Alt-Tab again. I don't
remember exactly, but I think the "Select a window"-dialog even stays
painted on the screen when I release the two keys until I press them again.

But AFAIK metacity does that !?

Hm, I don't really know what you mean, cause AFAIK gnome has never
registered any applications at openusability, cause they have "their
own" usability experts. and furthermore: I don't find gnome unusable, in
fact i think it's the most usable desktop on the gnu desktop (my
personal point of few).
My idea for registering e17 at openusability was, that I think there are
quite a few (small) simple errors you can commit in usability means.
these are easily pointed out by "experts". but all that's up to you.
(and one thing: getting usability-reports from them doesn't force you to
implement them :-) )

Yes, thank you :-)

Another suggestion: Would be great if the battery module could use hal
to access battery info. to be quicker.
