Where do they go??
Touch that button until a grid of icons appear, then touch the "more..." icon in the lower right. If you have a lot of apps installed, you may have to scroll down a bit, but all installed applications should appear there.
I believe the "more..." icon is going away with the next update, so it'll be quicker to access the icons in the future.

If the previous posts don't help you, you might want to elaborate on your question a little. Any specific application? Are all you applications 'not findable'?
I suspect you may be downloading a bunch of command line applications. There are a few dotted around. If that is the case, you can probably only get to these through X terminal - however it my mean that they aren't quite what you are expecting if you don't know how to run them.
Obviously I might be leading you off on one there, but let us know some of the applications and we might be able to tell you if you have something wrong, or if it is just one of the issues previously mentioned.
All the best with it anyway!

In the top left of your device's screen, there is a button that (with the default theme) appears as either overlapping boxes (when you have an application open) or as six squares (when none are open.)
Touch that button until a grid of icons appear, then touch the "more..." icon in the lower right. If you have a lot of apps installed, you may have to scroll down a bit, but all installed applications should appear there.
I believe the "more..." icon is going away with the next update, so it'll be quicker to access the icons in the future.
@OP: I think that it's a combination of our posts. Some apps are installed into the "more" directory as clickable icon. Others are internal changes or augment different parts of existing programs.
Check each program you install from the place you get them. ie. "maemo" if you're referring to Maemo.org is found at http://maemo.org/downloads/Maemo5/
Here' a good place to learn some basics on Maemo programs.

Try opening the .deb file on your PC using the archive manager instead of the package manager. That's what I do. That might be easier on a linux computer than a windows one.
Sorry for the noob question.. But when i download apps from maemo, I cant find them in the phone. Where do they go?? I made a research on the site, I activated the extra app catalog from app manager. But i still cant find the apps that i downloaded. So where can i find them and what do i have to do??
