after 'sudo gainroot' do:

cd /usr/share/hildon-desktop/
[textEditorName - replace with what you use] transitions.ini

if you don't have any text-based text editor installed try an 'apt-get install mc' to install midnight commander, then to edit do:

mcedit transitions.ini

Or you could use also vi, it comes preinstalled with n900. The controls are little bit odd though if you're never used it before.

Basically there's 2 modes in vi, edit & command mode, it starts with command mode, to enter insert mode where you can edit the text press i once, find the part you want to edit and change the values. To return to command mode hit esc. To quit write :x to quit & save or :q to quit without saving, or if it complains about changes not saved write :quit!

I have it on 8 currently and it works pretty well. Though still no snapping to same line as nearest objects, only makes it easier to put icons on same level.

Workes great! 12 is very good... Thank you
