List of problems with Plasma Active on Mer

address)

Hi vgrade,
here is the list of problems I am currently encountering on my WeTab with 
Plasma Active on Mer, but not on Meego (in order of subjective importance):

1. Since the bug has not been closed yet, I assume that upgrading the kernel 
still does not work ( https://bugs.nemomobile.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179 ).

2. Several core Plasma Active applications crash on start
( https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300095 ). According to Marco, this is 
caused by an issue with Intel graphics drivers
( https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300095#c14 ). 

3. The Device Notifier does not detect external memory devices (neither USB 
memory sticks nor flash memory, see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300674 
). According to Lamarque, this is because it needs udisks, which is not part 
of Mer 
( https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300674#c1 )

4. The lock screen (and boot splash screen) are often black unless some 
repainting due to moving things happens. This may be an old bug reappearing ( 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=291381 ).

5. Whenever Maliit is open, a mouse cursor is shown (not sure if this is Mer-
specific because I could not get Maliit to work on Meego yet, see 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300675 )

6. When shutting down or rebooting, after X has been shut down, some kernel 
messages are shown and it takes several minutes until the device finally powers 
off / reboots


I wish you much success with fixing the problems and thank you for your efforts!

Best,
Thomas
