Richwhite, that is a long winded way and there is no need to go to all that effort. ;)

As I mentioned in the post above yours, Maemodder can to this in a jiffy. Here is another link to the application from this forum

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=67989 with explanations on what each of the buttons do on the screen. Even a screenshot! One of the best applications out there for the Maemo community.
Maemodder is good, but i don't have it installed as i haven't installed anything lately (broken usb socket so can't flash). Others won't install anything from testing/devels and others won't know about the app.

Kudos for posting the link to it - can't help knowing 2 ways to do something though :)

( wont install says some applications packages required for installation are missing :O(

I'd like to be able to have a desktop contact and with one click it dials that number not open the contact.

Also id like to be able to change the desktop media player size to a lot bigger so when my phone is in my cars cradle the play or next buttons are Hugh to work along with FM transmitter.
Did you install the extra file (the dependancy) -
Code:
apt-get install zenity python python-osso python-gtk2

Why do you need your USB Socket? - The N900 has one of the best internet browsers, you can just follow this forum from your N900, cut and paste the scripts into X Terminal and run most of the scripts from there.

Better still (and no need to use USB cable again) you can use WIFI to connect from your PC to your N900. There is a great tutorial on how to do this [How to connect N900 with PC using WIFI], then once you have made the connection, within WinSCP is an option to load Putty.exe which looks and feels just like X-Terminal, but it runs off your PC. You can then run all the scripts that you see on this forum through putty. As you are updating on your N900 directly, changes are instant.

I use WinSCP already. Is it possible to reflash the N900 using WinSCP then?

(can you PM me so we don't take this thread away from the topic? I have a ginerbread question to ask you too if you don't mind)
