You are right here. Even though we do not have an icon on it, it is a slide- out bar containing all the contextual actions of Kontact Touch > Meanwhile I do not have any better idea, people need to be careful > with the swipe gesture.

I would love to see N9 running big and us finding someone funding a real refactoring of its UI. But so far I was asked to find the smallest possible hack to make Kontact Touch running on N9 at all, and the presented is my idea. > VKB is an > exception, and it was fiercely discussed even (It is intentional why > we do not advertise how to sidestep swipe gesture). I am actually a bit disappointed that the N9 UI guidelines and the UI itselve (as far as I read, experienced and understood it) has taken powerful swipe- over-the-border gesture totally for controlling top-level functions of the device. This actually is a pitty, because it crops the room for applications dramatically - as we can see with Kontact Touch. That fact that Nokia had to break the principle themselves nicely demonstrates this fact.
