This doesn't do it for me... the app tries to launch then crashes.

Maybe it has to be added to sudoers: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=40698

And yes I'm a SOB for asking in two places at once, sorry.

What I don't get is why there are so many traps laid all around for people that want to learn to know their way around linux... How "safe" do we have to be kept from ourselves?
I use open SSH + scp from day 1 and I can say it bypasses most of the "locks" a noob could run into; in the end things like these can only break patience and pleasure to use.
Sorry for the oftopic.
