I know, this is how it works on the N900 as well. There will be other 
touchscreen devices though that have the frame.

Excuse me, I am really using my Ideapad! :)
Seriously I expect other devices having the same issue, 
more pc-like monitors for instance and other dual-purpose devices.
The idepad is not the only one I've seen.
We should encourage people to make minor adjustments so we can find out what a 
good layouts. For this we need people that work with the device and can 
handle a text editor.

So we are looking at two touch profiles right now:
Capable of swiping in or not.

Sebastian, try modify that number to be lower and see if that helps you?

Cheers,
Bernhard
