Because I want everything to run in debian.. I hate switching when I am in IceWM. My ultimate goal is probably to boot to Debian instead of using Debian in a chroot.. although I haven't quite decided 100%.

Right now the chroot is wonderful because it makes Wireless/BT pairing easy; as well as BT transfer of files, etc.. Eventually I am going to offload these tasks onto Debian as well using the debian bluetooth stuff and find a decent WPA-GUI for wireless connections.

At the moment I can't see a single reason why I would want to keep Maemo.. it provides me easy access to the internet until I get the debian configured the way I want.. but other than that.. I just stay in my IceWM window.. I moved Xchat and Pidgin into Debian instead of running the Maemo copies.. so that they are right in front of me while I work instead of sitting back on the maemo desktop and interrupt me with the little blink.

I got mplayer to show the video - and using the -ao esd even got sound! - but it complains about slow running and is extremely chopping. Passing -vo sdl worked wonders for the interface as well.. but again; slow and choppy - I am not sure if this is due to debian's access to the devices.. or due to the fact that the memory is already being used by 2 os's running window managers and Xchat/Pidgin to boot.

I am not sure if this does anything.. but I have noticed you can pass the options -extension Composite to the Xephyr line - do you know if this will provide any usefulness to IceWM?
