Hello,

I'm sort of an advanced Debian user, but I'm still a complete beginner on my 2 days old N900, and although I googled a lot I couldn't find something that addresses my problem:

I have Easy Debian installed and running successfully, but the top panel of maemos hildon is still displayed above the Debian "window", pushing it some pixels downwards so that not all of the 480 vertical pixels can be seen. In roxterm approximately the two bottom lines are invisible.
I think this is a different problem than the commonly found "easy debian not running in full screen" threads.
Can anybody please tell me how I can make the whole display available to Debian or point me to some how-to that describes that?
Thanks!

Two other things:
1. As far as I understand Easy Debian has no middle or right click support so far. I think this could be addressed with xbindkeys and xdotool. xbindkeys can start a program via key presses (or combinations). This program could be xdotool which is able to simulate mouse clicks. This way one could for example bind fn + click to middle click and shift + click to right click. Any thoughts on that? If I'm trying to reinvent the wheel, please give me a link!

2. I assume there will be a new image once Squeeze is stable. Would it be possible to provide a minimalistic image with just lxde-core and the special tweaks that make Easy Debian work at all (mounts, scripts, xephyr etc.) but without additional software like openoffice, gimp or epiphany-browser?
I could do this on my own, but since I've learned in the past few days how much work is behind Easy Debian, I'd really appreciate a pre-built image.
