Hi Marcin, thanks for testing!

The background is the same as shown in the mockups:

Sounds like you have an old build image (no icon theme available). If 
you have a new image then it might mean the icon theme schema isn't 
being set correctly, but I believe Mickey already did this.

Again, take a look at the mockup. This area will contain items about 
upcoming events. If you haven't got any events in your calendar then 
obviously there will be nothing. Perhaps we should show a "No Upcoming 
Events" notice?

Missed calls we can now fix, however sms messages are not implemented in 
gsmd yet, so we can't fix that.

Yes, we can add options such as date format and background pictures later.

matchbox-desktop 2 might be a good alternative to the current 
openmoko-applications program.
