@Estel:
There is some problem with that java pluginappletviewer. As the error message suggests please un the browser from a terminal with the -g switch! e.g:Then open the problematic website. The browser will crash again but this time you should get a more useful error message on the terminal. Please post it here! Most likely I'll not be able to help since I'm no java expert, but I'm sure somebody else here is.



Ok, I tried that but as I expected it didn't change anything.

But then I found this tip from qole:I did this and now my keyboard works fine even in Squeeze. Of course that directory was overwritten with the files from the standard Debian repository during the dist-upgrade.

The only problem that remains is the lost focus after switching to another application and then returning back to ED. I guess that has something to do with /usr/bin/set-focus which works fine when ED is started but somehow doesn't (or more likely: isn't even called) when returning from another application.
Does somebody happen to know how the whole set-focus thing works? It's a C binary and unfortunately I couldn't find its source code or the mechanism how it is called.

As for the gconf2 troubles:
Either I'm not running any problematic software or that problem must have been solved somehow. However, I haven't noticed any problems related to that. If someone can give me a test scenario, I'd like to verify that. (please note: I no longer have OpenOffice or Gimp in my image and I don't intend to reinstall these huge packages again so any suggested scenario should work without them.)
