Iceweasel will take a very long time to open in Maemo if you select it from the menu. You have to be patient. It doesn't have a splash screen with a progress bar like OpenOffice, and it takes at least as long to open.

Actually the Debian chroot setup runs any time you click on a Debian icon in Maemo, you shouldn't have to open the terminal window at all.

The password info is copied into Debian from Maemo. So whatever your root password is in Maemo, that should work here too. If you have never set up a root password, you really should....
