guys ....
with
maemo-list-user-packages i discovered i have bunch of old "uninstalled" apps + configuration files still in the system
one of them was lfocus (live focus) that i've uninstalled because it was not playing nice with fcamera
i wonder if all this mess is caused by the config files left from lfocus?

i used dpkg --purge lfocus to remove them ...

hope this might help!
