and second, it would be awsome if the vertsms was executed when in conversations > new sms the n900 is flipped vertically.

And offcourse T9 would be very awsome

some kind of arrow control is coming at some point.

no way integrating to closed conversations unless nokia does it

and offcourse T9 has been asked for million times now. It is under development and it should at least about work but it might take time and there atleast were problems with load times etc...

Just a hunch but you probably edited a local copy of vertsms_gui.py but ran the installed version.

You would need to run:
Code:

python ./path_to_edited_vertsms.py
To see your changes. Likewise, launching from the menu runs the unaltered version as well.

yeah, I edited the copy in home/opt/vertsms.

tried running the command above (python ./home/opt/vertsms/vertsms.py) and get no such file or directory. Then tried python ./home/opt/vertsm/vertsms_gui.py but same problem. Tried python ./home/opt/vertsms.py, same problem.

I should point out that I know absolutely nothing about python!

Sorry, remove the first dot.

"." = current location, so your commmand above is technically looking for "/home/user/home/opt/vertsms/vertsms.py.

Ahhhh, so thats why I sometimes see . in front of paths. I'm new to linux so still learning all this!

Still failing though even though I know the correct path now. I ran

Code:

python /home/opt/vertsms/vertsms_gui.py
It seemed to think for a moment but then gave me a D-bus errors. gonna log into here with the phone so I can paste it.

This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.

Guys, I love you all! I can now type + in the contact field. :D

...Now, I just need to work out what to do with the gitorious version so I can edit the beginning of my number and I'll have the functionality I need.
