If there are specific issues you think are bugs, log them at bugs.meego.com. That way they can be reproduced and fixed by the developers. It would be excellent and useful if you could translate the issues above into bugs there (you mentioned probably 4 separate issues: 1) arrow keys not working for zone switching; 2) alt-tab doesn't always switch zones; 3) add zone not persistent; 4) order of zones not consistent). > I'd like to start addressing some of these issues but I am unsure of > whether the current clutter/gnome-like tools, which I am completely > unfamiliar with, will remain the defacto Meego interface or will Qt > (ideally with Quick) become the Meego foundation. > > Can anyone comment on the future of Qt (and Quick) with Meego? I know that Qt is the recommended 3rd party development approach for MeeGo. Whether it's going to be used for the UX across all verticals, I don't know. > > --markc Hope this helps.
