Hi Ivan,

thanks a lot for the clarification, I feel better again :)

I thought so too, but in the Maemo 5 Beta SDK they are missing. I´ll 
open a bug with them.

Ok I see, I was worried that it´s not possible at all. It´s good to know

Ok, is there something I should do? Open a bug in trackers bugzilla or

I´ll have a look at the code, but unfortunately I´m not the über-C-coder 
;) But I´ll have a look.

Again, thanks you very much for your help!
