Better GTK+ support in Maliit
So far, using Maliit’s virtual keyboard in GTK+ applications required fetching and compiling a GTK+ input method brigde yourself. Not any more. With the latest release, GTK+ applications should just work out of the box, thanks to Jon’s integration efforts .

A Subtilty in Overlaying Notification Windows on Maemo
I was recently hunting down a slightly annoying usability bug in Khweeteur, a Twitter / identi.ca client: Khweeteur can notify the user when there are new status updates, however, it wasn’t overlaying the notification window on the application window, like the email client does. I spent some time investigating the problem: the fix is easy, but non-obvious, so I’m recording it here. A notification window overlays the window whose WM_CLASS property matches the specified desktop entry (and is correctly configured in /etc/hildon-desktop/notification-groups.conf ).
Why I love the N9 and things I didn’t know about WP7
With last week’s Nokia World and today’s hands-on event in Vienna, I got a chance to try out the WP7 devices and ask questions about them. Here’s some insights that I want to share with you, because they might not be obvious if you haven’t tried WP7 before (I haven’t until last week, and these things were not obvious to me). I’m comparing the Lumia 800 with the N9 here, because they look very similar from the outside
