KDE is for all intensive purposes functional; it really does turn my N800 into a little laptop! I have yet to check if my bluetooth keyboard works with it.

p.s. the connection manager always says "connecting" even after it finds my wireles LAN and successrully transmits. (you probably already know that, penguinbait...)

PRINTER
______________________
the password it wants is the root password.

If you have not already set the password, open a Konsole and set the root password.

There are two Konsole links one black and one red on the taskbar

Click the red one it will open a root terminal, type

passwd

(hit enter)

set your root password.

Now when your printer asks for username and password

root
and-your-new-password

BT keyboard works same as in maemo, you can access control panel from taskbar

And yes the connection manager always does that, it does connect though
