* Fixed with (or aspect ratio really), makes many applets look stupid, 
  sometimes overlap
* horizontal swiping is needed in some applets
* too big overlay buttons (not 100% related)
* layout should be a bit more flexible (most people I talked to would prefer 
  something more close to the grid containment)

Those are the ones I can think of.
