Yes, you will still get the OTA message. I get it too. I haven't installed it. I don't know what happens if you do. I was under the impression that unrevoked will root even after OTA. So I assume that if you accept the OTA, then you would need to
1 - Root again using a method that works w/ OTA
2 - Do all the other steps required if you want to install custom roms again (recovery, Nand backup, etc)
Also, there is a way to turn off that feature so it stops checking for the OTA. I did it when I first got my phone, but now I can't find it. Some setting somewhere needs to be changed to Manual check for updates.
The blue "Superuser Permissions" icon is exactly what you should see. Keep in mind I just learned about Android on Friday. I'm no expert by any means. As far as I know, you don't actually do anything w/ that icon other than open it to get info about what apps you've given access too.
If you try to do the wifi tethering using this app,
wireless_tether_2_0_2-pre14.zip, which works flawlessly BTW, when you first start the wifi, it will ask if you want to grant permissions to the program. I selected "Always Allow" and now if I go to the Superuser Permissions icon, I see info about the wifi tethering app. I don't know what it means, but the info is there.
I don't know what the ninja monkey is? Are you referring to the icon for Advanced Task Killer? It's a free app in the store. Check their icon and let me know if that's it.

After doing a bunch of reading, I'm pretty sure that winmonewbie is right. Installing apps to the storage card is a Froyo thing (Android 2.2).
From my personal experience with custom roms on Windows, I tend to wait for a couple chef's to start using a build before I decide to try it. At least I know when it becomes popular most of the kinks are worked out. My "goto" chef is OMJ. I know he's new to Android, but the stuff he did to make my Touch and Touch Diamond last longer was amazing. He tends to error on the cautious side. So if he post a rom w/ Froyo, you can pretty much bet it's working very well.
The way things on are moving on the Evo, I'm sure any day now we'll start seeing several 2.2 roms. If you don't want to wait, you can install the existing Froyo rom they have on xda. I'm not sure what issues it has though.
BTW - If I throw up a smoke signal, I think you'll see it, looks like we're neighbors.
