Actually, I think the real problem is that sometimes the "apps" directory itself is missing (if, for example, you never used the built-in e-mail client). So if you have "/home/user/apps", you'll be fine.

Also it appears that you need to be careful about what other bluetooth devices are near when you run it the first time after the install - the program tried to connect to my desktop (w/ a motorola bluetooth adapter) and it just wouldn't connect to my garmin gps. Even though I had it installed and working fine before (I just did a reflash).

The solution was to run "hcitool scan", note the gps' MAC address, then manually typing it into the settings menu.

Just in case somebody else finds themselves stuck like I was.

BTW, excellent work gnuite. If you're ever in SW Portland, I'll buy you a fine local microbrew (or two) at a real local dive.
