thank for the help Q

Just open Xterm on your n900.. type "sudo gainroot" then paste what I wrote down.. hit enter ... that's all you have to do..

kind regards Qosmio

(Edit) just ran it on mine... worked fine.

Question. If i wanted to replicate a set of widgets exactly the same locations etc on every screen. Is there a set of configs I can simply copy/mod and achieve this.

As a rule I like to have a clock and a few other standard things on every screen, but the process of making and dragging them to the exact same location (never an easy task) is wearing me down.

I then corrected my string but I cannot see any changes to the kinetic scrolling... its still slow.

Do I have to delete the firstly entered wrong string somehow, or why does it not work?

And is there a way to view all the gconf strings in an editor or something?

Greetz,

To view the current value: "gconftool-2 -g /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/decel_rate"

Anyway, you should try this.

Me again...
btw thx MaddogG for the inormation.
I already had Mohammads modified version installed wich somehow killed my 5th desktop and prevented me even from reinstalling Matans version again. I needed to restore original nokia hildon-desktop for beeing able to reinstall Matans modified one again.
So I got it fixed now and kinetic scrolling is fine, too

I then tried the change backgrounds commands for having the 9 desktops with numbered background images. But when I now change desktop 5 to 9 backgrounds, the chosen wallpaper always is applied to desktop 1 and not to the one I started the change background setting from. (desktops 5 to 9)
^ nevernind, found the solution

then find the wallpaper you want in your images open it up and then set as the background.. same way you would set the back ground before you had the extra screens..

I didn't get that I need to change it from file manager in the first place. (I tried it from the desktop menu, wich appears when holding the stylus on desktop for a few seconds)

:cheers:

You probably don't have the correct hildon-home.
