- set a specific dialog as closeable or minaturizable

This might be something that you could control from Matchbox theme
file, see its documentation at:
  http://matchbox-project.org/

Then you could create a theme that does that and install it.

No, that's a *global* change, and a major, brickable, modification which is not acceptable for me to make on a person's computer for them just to use my application. I should be able to enable a *specific* window to be resizable/movable.


Second, I believe that Nokia should set many of its dialog boxes as
resizable, and *all* of its dialog boxes as movable.

I'm pretty sure this is not going to happen (dialogs in phones
are not movable either + their UI is also very modal).

Does Nokia really perceive the N800 UI in phone terms? If so, Apple is going to eat your lunch.


Third, I believe Nokia should place notifications somewhere where they
don't cover widgets (the right half of the menu bar is the obvious
place),

Many of the banners come from dimmed menu items, so then the banners
would cover the item you just tapped (they are quite high), which would
be even more annoying I think.

You don't need to actually have a *window*. Just change part of the text of the menu bar (and maybe its color) temporarily.
