@frostschutz: Thanks! That's certainly an interesting idea...

Afraid it might be a tad above my pay grade (I'm not actually a CS student at all, more of an English lit one, so I'm basically terrible at C ;p), but a neat idea

.

If I ever find some time/motivation, one utility I'd like to do is a simple (i.e., no Qt) tool to print text messages to the framebuffer (for those familiar with it, we have eips on Kindles, and it's damn useful).
For instance, right now, hitting a SQL busy timeout can be a bit mystifying, since there's zero actual feedback besides the action not launching :/.
