But you'd know that if you paid attention to the project instead of blindly badmouthing them.
Something is wrong here and i am trying to get to the bottom of it.
NB i want to know why after all this developing time it has not moved more than maybe a few days work, now either Nokia is binding things here or......
EDIT please note i am only talking about the N900 adaption.

Anti climax here guys 
Second time and all I am getting is a black background and a purple square in the top left corner and moved slightly when I tap it and does NOTHING else
@smoku
Do you have an N900 to attempt your builds on?

Well after bout 4 minutes the DE got me to the desktop then took another minute to respond to me pressing the menu icon..
Off to a great speedy start.. Sarcasm intended :P

This is what got me and i dont know what smoku felt but my god he could have at least thanked him for his efforts !.
NB i am really having to hold my fingers here because i don't think is a good idea to say what i want to say !.
Don't bother replying as I wont - this thread is too far OT as it is.

You'll probably have to rewrite your sd card anyway, when I tried uninstalling hildon-desktop, it removed that package and nothing else. On restart (I had changed the uxlaunch line back to mcompositor) it launches into the dialler app which keeps restarting when you close it and it wasn't possible to ssh in.

Its not usable enough atm for me to even consider flashing the eMMC with it and using it as my main os instead of Maemo 5. Maybe if I had a second device I would flash MeeGo DE onto the eMMC and then play around with it alot more.
The icons are really basic and kinda blocky but tbh in a development build who cares about icons :P
The functionality is more or less there, just needs alot of UX fine tuning and much more keyboard support withing apps like x-terminal and also to respond to the keyboard opening and unlock the device :P
Otherwise its pretty alright to use
