schmots, do you have an external keyboard? or bt phone? have you tried these yet? I think there may be a problem.
On N800 with WM6.tar.gz and kbdd.tar.gz ( http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/ ) I use bt keyboard without problems

This file in WM6 is correct, the ld.so.conf needs to be changed in /etc on the ROX6. I Think?

you can make minimo full screen, from the bottom left menu. What keyboard are you using? is it supported out of the box, or is it kbbd?

I am glad to see its working for you. Its a bit quirky, but it works pretty good. Have you tried dragging any video to mplayer, local or http link from minimo. You can also drag image links in minimo to wallpaper from the app/accessories/wallpaper/xxx

I still like the transparent xterm.

Well, I finally got xkbd to compile, so no more 100% CPU. I had been playing around with openbox for a while now, I also installed blackbox. openbox was nice but the window buttons were too hard to hit. I am currently running fluxbox with ROX and I am liking it.

I have a menu on the toolbar for ROX, and a pager, on the pager you can drag things between the desktops, with fluxbox you can also drag windows to other desktops like in wmaker.

I am going to start working towards making a more sold desktop environment. I would like to get some feedback one what you like, what you dont, what you want to see. I am thinking of not including wmaker in the next dump, or maybe just make it another option to use with rox.

Anyone want to help, let me know.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to have the xkbd fix and to see fluxbox. Would you mind releasing another tar file of your current setup so we can make more informed comments?

Feedback numeral uno... Full screen - The windows on the current version don't really maximize..

Feeback numeral two.. Larger fonts.. hard to read the xterm.

I have the kbd and fluxbox it working with ROX and a pager, but I am having problems getting the menu to work on more than one desktop in fluxbox. It works fine on blackbox, bot the keyboards do not work. It works in Window Maker, but it make an icon on the screens. I compiled Afterstep, and it works, but not very well with ROX. So this leads me back to openbox, I tried several other window managers also. Openbox works good, but the number one problem I have is the buttons on the titlebars to Maximize and close the window are hard to hit, because of the size, and you seem to have to hit them multiple times. I think I am going to use openbox and bind the zoom/fullscreen buttons to (Minimize/Icon)(Maximize)(Close) The button for the menus in hildon works in both openbox and fluxbox.

Give me a couple days I will release a new tarball with some updates, I am trying to get it a bit more polished before I release again, but I understand the want. I also compiled matchox-keyboard which is working, but I prefer xkbd.
