Kontact Touch on N9

Hi,

I am not sure what "flap" means in this context, but maybe the sidebar
which contains an icon that can be used to access the corresponding
component application that could be it,
but this is just a guess.

Meanwhile I do not have any better idea, people need to be careful
with the swipe gesture. In general, it is easy to break the user
experience, if the applications start doing their own ways. VKB is an
exception, and it was fiercely discussed even (It is intentional why
we do not advertise how to sidestep swipe gesture).

I do not have anything against it (since I cannot mention anything
better myself), just wanted to express, be careful. :)

Best Regards,
Laszlo Papp
