Been coding, and I've extended Rafi Rubin's patch ,which lets you lock desktop applets, to actually save the locked state for the next time the tablet is started. Also contains Walter Guerra's patch for letting the user use the applications button from x11vnc.




Debs (and source!) are in: http://qwerty12.qole.org/hildon-desktop/

I've installed on an N800, and on an N810, without problems but YMMV. All I can say is that ensure that you have openssh, the tablet set to connect to a wifi network automatically, and know how to set "no-lifeguard-reset".
