I don't understand what you mean with "It still misses some fields."
Is it that those problems you mentioned in your daily report #11 for the
32bit build (and which you intend not to address during the last few
GSoC days? If so, that's OK.

That's not surprising, given that these distributions are rpm based.
Even if you had managed to install .deb packages, it would be
questionable if the users of johnny would be able to do it.

I think we can ignore this.
Even on a 10" screen you'll have at least 1024x600 pixels, any "normal"
screen would have at least 768 pixels vertically.

I think it is the latter. There's not much you can do about it, except
ask Solar if he'll sign that package with an Openwall key.
Even in that case, most distributions will ask the root user whether he
really trusts that key.

I think you should put more effort on rpm based distributions now,
because for .deb packages you meanwhile know that and how it works.
Please let me know if you have an rpm package which I could test as well.
