@ Penquinbait - I think you've included all the shortcuts I can think of... my only question is why make these all preset? Why not have the user just set up whatever shortcut they want (it's a really simple process)? Second - I can't for the life of me get the right-click shell script to assign to a button. It will run from xterm but I can't get it to run from a hotkey? I've been trying to use Regional & Accessibility -> Input Actions to set up the hotkey. What am I doing wrong? Or what are you doing instead?

Also, my husband (he's a code monkey) kinda rewrote the script he claims he made it "betterr" - I can send you the revised copy if you're interested - but I totally understand if you just want to stick with yours (if it 'aint broke don't fix it kinda thing).

As for Dubwise's suggestions - I agree that a link to Battery-Status should be included. I think I already sent you one when I sent you all those .desktop files.

However, I'm not sure about the KAlarm/alarm daemon thing. There's something buggy in KAlarm. It took me a week to get KAlarm to quit loading automatically at startup - I kept getting seg11 faults everytime I tried to change the KAlarm settings. I wanted to turn it off because since I use KOrganizer anyways and I was trying to minimize extraneous memory usage - I figured that KAlarm was expendable (since I can just set an alarm in KOrganizer or use EggTimer for a quicky alarm). I could quit KAlarm after it loaded at startup, but that's a PITA. Finally one day after trying repeatedly trying to disable automatic loading of KAlarm - it just stopped loading- I have absolutely no idea why. My Kalender and To-do alarms all still work. So maybe Dubwise is on to something with the alarm daemon - once it's activated once it will keep running.

One thing I'd love to see fixed (if possible of course) is Menu Editor. I've currently got all of my Maemo shortcuts on my desktop but only because Menu Editor won't actually save any shortcuts I make. Menu Editor says that it's saving - I get no error messages or anything - but when I close the editor and open KMenu again - the link I made is no where to be found. I would be nice unclutter my desktop some - especially since I don't use Maemo anymore.

And have you found any way to fix the jpeg problem? I'm just curious if you've come acrossed any fix for it yet.

While we're on the subject of settings/fixes... Has anybody come up with settings for either smplayer or mplayer to play movies without skipping and lagging in KDE. I can play my movies in Maemo with mplayer no problem but from xterm in KDE mplayer video just lags and stops/starts, same with smplayer. These are all divx files.
