I was thinking of making the app have a web page for the few bits of configuration it would need, but I may take a look at other options including its own gui..

Anyways, I would run the app in terminal in foreground while debugging, shorter way to a real daemon from there (and many of the daemons in linux/unix world have an option to start in foreground for exactly this reason).
Using MADDE/QtC, I just click the "play" buttona nd it transfers the app to the device and runs it, hence the reason I chucked a GUI together; didnt want to build, then run a script to delopy, then run a terminal session to start the app, and do that 200 times a day

on single user device like the N900 the privilege separation does not help as much as all the important bits for the user (user data, photos, contacts etc) are accessible/messable with the users privileges...
which, curiosuly enough in this case, will actually be a blessing!
