What exactly are the other issues that I mentioned? Here's a list that is likely incomplete (and doesn't mention those issues already discussed): 1. Full screen support 2. Proper menus, toolbars, titles. For instance, the window for a maemo application, if properly coded, will always fit within the confines of 770's screen and take up as much space as possible. The menu will always be accessible from the menu drop-down (unless in full-screen mode) and the toolbar will always be found at the bottom of the screen (unless it is turned off). And the title of the window will always appear at the same spot. 3. Integration with libosso (refer to libosso APIs for more information). Although, I think it is possible to use libosso without the application being a GTK application. But of course, that requires additional coding. 4. And finally, behaving in a way that 770 users expect, based on the already existing software on the device and developed for the device.
These other issues could be considered to be minor nitpicks depending on one's perspective (unlike the input method problem, which is a serious issue).
