This is exactly what I need, but I ran into a problem. Could someone help me out with the following problem:
Attempt 1: I tried to rename the orginal file, but I got "Access denied"
Attempt 2: I copied/pasted the original file and wanted to replace the original for the new file, bit also "Access denied".
I used GPE File manage.
Thanks in advance.

As a wild guess, you probably need root perms? Try sudo gainroot first (assuming you have rootsh installed, if not get it form the repos).

Thanks for your reply Pigro. I will do some research on gainroot and rootsh (this is all new to me).

Long story short, I didn't want the FM Transmitter status menu applet to hide after I disabled it. Unfortunately, it's closed source and I didn't want to have to add another applet just to enable it. Looking at it, it wasn't complicated so even I could write a clone. It's pretty much a 1:1 clone (with the showing of error messages broadcast by fmtxd over D-BUS, usage of Nokia strings for localisation, and everything). IDA Pro FTW.
Only things I did differently was to ensure that the button is always there in the status area and I made sure that all memory was freed...
With the FM Transmitter off:
With it on:
Replacement .so here; source here. Place the .so in /usr/lib/hildon-desktop, being sure to backup the previous one.
This approach if generalized across the board, opens many things up to the imagination.

May I ask for some help of the pro's in this forum?
I have RootSh installed, but I assume that I have to back-up and replace a .so file via X terminal/sudo gainroot . Could someone give me a clue on which commands I need to use in order to back-up and swap a file via XTerminal?
Thanks in advance.

How about a new applet that will always be there but with
the difference that you can start/stop the tm transmitter directly without
to wait that the settings app pop up from the bottom screen
something like this
[FM Transmitter __| \ / ]
[Frequency _____ | / \ ]
so i can just click on the right side of the applet to quickly turn
the transmitter on / off

To backup:
That should store it in MyDocs/"Nokia N900"
To replace it (assuming the file was downloaded to MyDocs/"Nokia N900"
You can use the onscreen tab button to complete file and directory names (or CTRL+I)
Of course you need to do all that (except the backup part) ^ as root
