Ben working with Artur in some things in kontact-mobile (main reson i was not 
able to do much kde work latly was kontact mobile), good news are that I think 
I have now a good basis for a "tooklit style", (butons, input areas, 
toglebuton etc) that fits the dpi of mobiles, its a bit office serius like but 
it works.

failing big time here must find some free time, to atleast port my 
presentation at tokamac here. had some conversations with a study group of 
this area here, they seam interested in doing reviews. 


other random notes#, will make some adjustments to air style in the taskbar
hope to do a new splashscreen and kdm style ....
