But I haven't wrote anything about the hibernation yet. But I had something
similar but not
related to the memory consumation. BTW in order to use that class ( and I
think the hibernation too)
the developer will use QSettings in a slot... but we'll talk more about
these asa this work will be published.

We can do a TODO list and then define what of the new widgets we want to
have in Qt.
But some of them will be available, I'm going to have a separate package for
them.
Those widgets as the Maemo system specific libs will be shipped in an extra
package.
I hope that you agree with this.

I' haven't published them yet. They are in my internal repos... I can't tell
more for now..
