I don't see how hildon-desktop can be involved in your problem, but you never know...

Simple things to check:
Code:
ls -l /home/user/.osso/call-ui.ini
ls -ld /home/user/.osso
should give something like
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users ..../call-ui.ini
drwxr-xr-x 6 user users .....osso

You can also try (NOT as root)
Code:
echo '[rotation]
orientation=0' > /home/user/.osso/call-ui.ini
killall rtcom-call-ui
That should give you portrait mode.

This is the output:

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# ls -l /home/user/.osso/call-ui.ini
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           48 Jul 24 13:26 /home/user/.osso/call-ui.ini
Nokia-N900:~# ls -ld /home/user/.osso
drwxr-xr-x    7 user     users        4096 Sep  3 00:11 /home/user/.osso
Nokia-N900:~# cat /home/user/.osso/call-ui.ini

[rotation]
orientation=0
[supplementary]
ssc=1

So everything should work but it doesn't and it did with other hildon-desktop versions. Any suggestions?

EDIT: I have reinstalled it and now it works but I cannot get the faster scrolling effect to work (I have tried http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...127#post798127).
Has anyone solved that?

NO. You can either install this and have up to 4 desktops, OR install matan's and have up to 9. If you want bath, matan needs to incorporate the latest updates into his package. The best solution would be to ask matan *nicely* to update his package.

To me, it looks like you should have been locked to portrait mode, so that's strange.
BUT, this is wrong: you have 'root root' where I have 'user users'!
My wild guess: This happened when you added the 'ssc=1' part in July 24.
Could have been fixed with 'chown user:users /home/user/.osso/call-ui.ini' as root.
Rule of thumb: Edit files as user (ie NOT root) within /home/user, and as root outside.

What did you reinstall to get it to work (I'm just curious)?

That post just quotes the default transitions.conf with commented-out settings. To actually increase the speed (or more correct, decrease the slow-down rate), I would recommend

Code:

[launcher]
deceleration_rate = 0.99
#strong_deceleration_rate = 0.7

# indicates a comment (=row without effect)

Show me the output of

Code:

ls -l /etc/hildon/theme/transitions.ini /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini /usr/bin/hildon-desktop*
md5sum /usr/bin/hildon-desktop.launch
grep -C3 deceleration /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini

For some stupid reason I forgot to ask for 'grep -C3 deceleration /etc/hildon/theme/transitions.ini'. Please show me that output as well.

Have you edited /etc/hildon/theme/transitions.ini (at Sep 5 12:39)?

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# grep -C3 deceleration /etc/hildon/theme/transitions.ini
# launcher top layer disappearing when a layer in front
[launcher_out_back]
duration=200
deceleration_rate=0.99

# launch animation
# duration_out - amount of time to take when fading the launcher out and application in

Yes, I have added it but it doesn't help.
