Does it have "user" as one of its... what do you call them..? Categories, or something? Like, the way software is sorted on the downloads page on this forum in Desktop, Utilities, Other, Science, System, etc...

The N900 app manager doesn't show things in the repos unless one of its categories is 'user'. I thought FApMan had an option to see them or not, but I haven't seen it recently when looking around the settings area. Perhaps it was taken out because too many people thought it was a good idea to install stuff they didn't understand or need or know how to use? *Shrug*
