Listmates,

        After my run-through of e16, there are a couple of things that would be 
helpful for me to be able to do. One of those is to have some way to 
manipulate the iconbox with the keyboard. Currently I have set ALT+UP to 
"iconify" which makes it super-easy to put icons in the iconbox, but, I have 
no way to get them back out without grabbing the mouse.

        I have been through the keyedit actions and I have been through most of 
the 
config files in /usr/share/e16 and ~/.e16, but have been unable to find 
something that would let me "uniconify" something.

        I guess I could set a shortcut to the windows menu and do it that way, 
but 
another way that seems logical would be to

        focus the iconbox
        raise it to the top layer
        provide up/down or left/right arrow-key navigation
        uniconify/restore the application when the enter key is pressed

        Being new to e16, I don't know if that capability exists, so I thought 
I 
would post the question and see. Also, if you have a better work-around, 
please let me know.

        Next, there are a couple of things in e16 that I really like that I 
can't 
find in e17 yet. In e17 you have ibar and itask which work fine, but I really 
like the iconbox and individual pagers in e16. I have set the iconbox with a 
pager border and have it shade and add from the top-down and I anchor it to 
the top edge of my screen. The actual pagers go bottom-left:

        Is there a way I can configure the pager and itask like this in e17?

        Any help on the uniconify or e17 setup issues will be greatly 
appreciated. I 
cannot tell you how impressed I am with this desktop. It has literally taken 
over my desktop ;-)
