Known issues
- [N900] At the first start Gajim used 100% CPU for a longer time - this was probably due to the fact that I was a member of a few big MUCs.
- [N900] It's not extremely fast...
- some icons seem to be missing
Possible first steps
It may be a good idea to start the MUCs minimized, for a more mobile-friendly UX.
