Are you able to get more than 2 desktops? - I found I could only get two, and the scroll back just cycled between the two - hardly useful. It also seemed very flaky in that sometimes a single touch with the stylus caused an action (click), but sometimes needed multiple goes. Also, that stupid keyboard always comes up first instead of terminal every time (next try I will copy terminal over it so its permanently GONE :), though I appreciated the one click keyboard select as it had to be used so often ... In the end I gave up out of frustration and rm'd .e and rebooted where the first run wizard allowed me to select the old desktop.
In the older illume, the auto popup of the keyboard didnt always happen so you were often having to go to the "alpha" button in the topshelf, then having to switch to the terminal keyboard - not exactly user friendly. Didnt get as far as testing further as I had no sound at all - possibly as a result of installing navit - but remembered that might be the cause after I flashed back :) I'll try again today and see if I can get sound - thats at least a sorta usable image and I'll fix the rest (keyboard, dimming, extra apps, ...) on the fly.
