Thanks a lot! (I can't really thank you enough.) That works. I'm actually running blackbox and hildon simultaneously now, and struggling with this, but windows are now resizable at least.

EDIT:
Not sure what I did entirely, just blundered through the directory you mentioned and commented out all calls to "hildon-desktop" and "hildon-home".

This keeps "hildon-status-menu" running, but won't open sub-menus from the status-menu for some reason.

Also, I can't say that I like blackbox all that much, it's a bit too minimalistic for my tastes. I guess if we want a complete desktop environment, it still has to be built from source, since I can't find any other prebuilt window manager packages that work besides blackbox and matchbox.

Very nice as a proof of concept however! It really makes me feel like I bought the "mobile computer" that was advertised! I still haven't tried icewm or fvwm. Those might be in the repository from:
