Yup it is, and still with the great new xmimd package and Easy Debian 1.1.0.

Try as user in MeeGo X Terminal :
$ rm -rf ~/.openoffice.org
to delete OpenOffice previous configuration.
It worked, but had to run it as root due to permission error: "rm -rf /home/user/.openoffice.org/".

It would be just a matter of reading the Swype tips, but :
"Hiding the Keyboard: To easily hide the keyboard, just Swype from the Swype key to the backspace key."
doesn't work on my N9, so I just switch to another vkb and close it. Or inside LXDE, I tap in some place without text entry.
It does not wor for me neither, but inside LXDE I tap on an empty area too to temporarily hide the keyboard, or switch to another keyboard, but it may be inconvenient in some cases. Plus taping in an empty area just makes the keyboard to disapear temporarily. For example if you're in OOWriter and need to click on something at the bottom, you need to make the keyboard disappear and you don't want it to come back as soon as you clicked on the stuff at the bottom. For that, it is necessary to switch to a non-Swype keyboard and to swipe it down. It works well, the only hassle is to switch to another keyboard. However, as the Swype keyboard doesn't benefit from the translucency allowed by xmimd (on my device at least), I guess I will not use it very much in Easy Debian now.

Use inside Debian terminal (DebianChroot icon) :
# df -h /
Very useful, thanks a lot!

By the way, thank you very much for the 1.1.0 version of Easy Debian, it's awsome. It's becoming very useable and user-friendly. Have you noticed that now Iceweasel requires a profile to be created to be launched? I tried, but the creation fails so I can't use it; not sure this only happens on my device.

Speaking of Iceweasel, did you try playing Youtube Flash videos with the Sulu's SCI image? You suggested in a previous page that the crashes in Youtube videos might be due to the 9.x version of Flash on your SCI version, so perhaps the newer version on the Sulu's image could tell if this is actually the cause.

Finally, could you elaborate just a little bit on that:
1.b) Scientific version of experimental Sulu's Debian wheezy image (13/08/2012)
- no wallpaper and menu when "clicked" in desktop background;
- no sound tools;
Can we add a wallpaper and fix the missing contextual menu when clicking on the desktop? Which packages should we get to add sound support? And this image uses LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice. As LibreOffice is kind of the newer version, perhaps the commandlines are the same (not sure though): does it mean the Easy Debian icons for OO will still work and launch LibreOffice instead?

Well, finally (bis), I may have a feature idea for the next version of Easy Debian. I don't know if it's easily feasible nor if you will agree that it may be useful, but it would be great to have a feature to select the image to mount. I currently have both you SCI image and the Estel's image. I have to manually edit the /home/user/.chroot file to select the one I want to use, and it's not very convenient. I guess it could be done with scripts and several .chrootX files to be vopied to .chroot just prior to using Easy Debian. There could be icons for each of the 2-3 images one may have on his device, and those icons would run the corresponding script and cp the corresponding .chrootX file into .chroot). What do you think?

Thanks again.
