Did you enable the rear mute as well? After I enabled it in my patched rootfs, I think it's a good modification. Virtually impossible to accidentally hit, and useful for the speakerphone like in WinMo.

Yup, it's been in all of my more recent rootfs images, and I entirely agree. The funny thing is that I forgot to mention that it was present in my announcement until I read your post earlier today. Your post reminded me that I really should mention that it's in there. It really is a nice little feature. I have no idea why the button was originally mapped to REAR_MUTE instead of MUTE to begin with in the layout file, there is no REAR_MUTE keycode in android, so the framework didn't have a clue about what to do with it.

It would be great if you could manage to add in the power button home in the future. In my opinion, it makes the most sense conceptually, since the power button as call end is pretty unorthodox, whereas power button home is easy in that it's just power button = power on, end call = power off.

I don't know, personally I find thinking of the power button as a toggle between awake and asleep to be fully intuitive.
When I polled the users on XDA a few months back, almost nobody liked the current setup, but those who didn't like the current setup were split between those favoring power as power with end as home, and those favoring end as power with power as home. The ratio was about 2:1 in favor of the former over the latter. Nevertheless those favoring the later possibility such as yourself were just as highly passionate regarding their preference. Even the devs were split on the issue, and that's probably why there hasn't been a decision to change the current status quo which next to nobody likes. We'd like to eventually make this all reassignable from within android's framework by the individual user at some point, just like short-cuts, but that's later down the road.
