Nice! I've added a short notice on our home page about this port.

It would be nice if you could prepare a patch with --enable-dr800-support
(or something similar) switch for configure.ac and modify necessary parts
of code base to include dr800 specific modifications. The modified code
should be surrounded by #ifdefs.

Please define proper sizes for dr800 and replace current when compiling
for DR800 (with conditional compilation).

Available in trunk since R-890.

I got no better idea than small and elegant button (i.e. small arrow).

Since LMB is not used for this area, we can implement both LMB and RMB.

You can disable all gtk_widget_grab_focus() calls in DR800 mode.

The default font is controlled by GTK+. You can change it by editing
.gtkrc file in your home folder.

This is not implemented yet. We're working on a new task reminder and
works in progress.
