Just remember, to hit it twice, or hit space after it - dead_circumflex can be also used "mixed" with some other letters. Personally, I got it binded for lvl4 'm' key.Code:dead_circumflex
May it be, that You can use 'circumflex' to get instant version, without need for space - but, this way You loose ability to mix it with other characters. I javen't tested it with 'circumflex', just 'dead_circumflex'.
EDIT: If you prefer to not press twice you can use asciicircum instead of dead_circumflex

You're right, same apply for 'asciitilde' and 'dead_tilde'.
Anyway, yesterday I got my lovely mini keyboard (USB), and it's working fine out of the box in Maemo (thanks to the H-E-N and extkbd). Ho ever, in Ed I can use only basic keys (letter with shift), no number, special characters etc. I remember qole has posted about using BT-HD scripts, ho ever, I would like to stay with extkbd, due to super-compatibility with all my devices (and almost literally every other device). Is there a way to use it properly, from within LXDE? I suspect it got something to do with keyboard layout from Ed not matching one from Maemo, but no idea further.
Also, qole (or others knowledgeable) - is there a relative simply way to "clone" hardware keyboard mapping (those of N900 hardware keyboard) from Maemo to ED's '.xbindkeysrc'?

Unfortunately I have no BT keyboard so I can't test that.

command helped me Xterminal (synchroot), mounted in debian chroot.
You will have full support for keyboard.
It is also the problem of hardware based keyboard n900 in easy debian pc will be mapped to 105 (numbers and will not fn +) EXTKBD problem is the package.
I had to uninstall extkbd and give the command to fix synchroot easy debian hardware based keyboard.
I tried to fix it by copying files from my laptop xkb ubuntu on which the keyboard works. nothing helped
I think that the only solution is to modifications to rx 51
all the time I try to get a fully functional keyboard maemo / easy debian tried bluetooth (chinook, bt-script, extkbd). Was the best bt-script, but he introduced changes in the maemo keyboard.
big thanks to people working in the easy debian
Qole sad with bt-script has been suspended

I just played a bit with the xfe file manager. It might be a good replacement for pcmanfm. It's a long time since I've worked under Windows but xfe reminds me a bit of total commander.
However, there's a small bug in xfe when running on openbox: It somehow doesn't correctly read the openbox desktop borders which leads to the problem that the window is misplaced and the window decoration bar is above the upper screen edge.
That can be solved by checking the option "remember position" in the xfe preferences (that dialogue will also be misplaced) and maximizing the xfe window before closing it.
To maximize it I called this wmctrl command:
It gave me 5 seconds time to switch to the xfe window, moved it to a position where I could reach the window buttons and I pressed the maximize button.
From now on the xfe main window should be correctly placed.
While you're at it take the chance to adapt the rest of the xfe options. For example one-click open is a very nice feature on a stylus device and you might want to change some associations of file types with applications. For example I neither like the image viewer nor the text editor that comes with xfe. Therefore I changed those associations to geeqie and leafpad.

Easy Debian portrait mode:
Some of you have surely tried to switch Easy Debian to portrait mode with a command like this:
In principle this works but unfortunately the mouse movement isn't adjusted accordingly by xephyr so using Easy Debian becomes a challenging mental exercise.
Fortunately some clever guy (thanks a lot!) submitted a patch to fix this bug [1]. I had a look at the source code of different xephyr Debian packages and found that the fix is already included in version 1.11 which is unfortunately only available in Wheezy and Sid. I just got rid of one release mix and didn't want to start a new one. So I patched the xserver-xephyr package from squeeze-backports (currently 1.10) and have a perfectly working mouse cursor in portrait mode now.
(Yes, I also tried to patch the squeeze package (1.7) but that would have required further patches and I was too lazy to sort that out.)
@qole:
If you think this might be useful I'll send you the patched package.

A simple possibility is to re-install the easy-deb-chroot package (leaving the image in place). This should overwrite the relevant /home/user/.config files.
