NetFront - works well
- minor issues with fullscreen (window moves around sometimes)

Re: RedGear 0.9.0 (Beta) - Bug Tracker

ok, some of the issues that i specifically remember right now, will make a more complete write up later.

agendafusion has (probably) richink issues, the app starts very neatly but there are two tabs (out of five) that crash the app if you click on them (they should switch to some different view/functionality).

apart from ircy (newer version of mircy), i had the expiration message with pocketmechanic too though the app seemed to function.

skype 1.0 froze device (hpc2000 nec900) when trying to launch it. newer skype has wm5 cab type (any way to fix that?)

as for zsirc, you can fix the issue if you disconnect/reconnect the internet connection (wlan in my case at least).

stylestap works but has interesting debug messages, will post them later if you need it.

igo 2006SE: setup exits with "Cannot copy application.dat" (that .dat is the real exe for igo, btw)

sktools will not launch, silent crash?

and of course, the prism config app (not necessarily linksys.. but uses true hpc mfc!) crashes sometimes.
