gconftool-2 -s -t string "/apps/maemo/maemo-mapper/units" "km"

gconftool-2 -s -t string "/apps/maemo/maemo-mapper/escape_key" "Toggle Tracks"

Then try starting Maemo Mapper. Let me know if this has any effect.
Worked for me I had spent the better part of a day trying to troubleshoot this without much luck, then reinstalled 1.1.

I also found that I had an old Maemo Mapper config in apps/maemo-mapper (not apps/maemo/maemo-mapper) so I used
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset to blow that away. My guess is that restoring from backup after I updated to IT2006 left some cruft
on the device, there's a lot of stuff from applications that I don't recall installing on 2006.

And - I just got the iBlue 737 GPS, which works quite well with Maemo Mapper. GPSPassion.com just did a review where they
fairly gushed over it. 25 hour battery life and performance as good as the SiRFstarIII units. Semsons has it $20 off until the end of the month.

BTW - on this site a CODE block inside of a QUOTE causes the page to be too wide.
