Not sure if it's caused by fapman or not but lately when I install apps they don't have icons in the launcher until I reboot. Is there maybe something the regular app manager is doing that fapman isn't?
Do other people see this when installing apps via fapman?

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

I just installed some apps with fapman and after a while the icons were shown without the need to reboot.

Yeah, the icons seem to update completely randomly 
I tried borrowing a piece of code from HAM to accomplish this update in some of the earlier versions, but it still did not work every time so I disabled the code for the last versions. Whatever. I consider it to be a bug in hildon/GTK

Usually the preferred way of doing things in the open source world is that you grab the already existing project (if there is one that does what you want) and make your changes to that.
Can the stuff that makes your app faster be applied to it?
Just asking because if it could, all N900 users would benefit from your changes

Maybe for starters using the background of the default app manager would be a good idea?
That one is usually themed.
By the way, trying to set app colors (on custom-drawn widgets) so that they look acceptable on multiple themes is an absolute horror. Even (or especially?) if you use the theme palette!

If you havent you could put the images outside of fapman. Then it would be possible to "hack" the look by changing those images. If you have please tell in what dir to look.

I'd much rather see some folders with PNGs instead, and the user selects theme inside app. That would allow for flexibitity. Maybe a conf file for fonts, as well?

Hit a bit of a bug today. I installed the backupmenu package and the application just hung on the "Installing" stage. I killed it and ran apt-get from the command-line, which in turn prompted me to run "dpkg --configure -a". It seems that backupmenu was having to overwrite a file I'd previously copied manually, and dpkg was prompting for confirmation of this. Is it possible for fapman to detect and handle this?

This is so much better than the built-in app manager
