For root password in chroot, it's the same as in maemo. If you haven't configured it (in maemo), try "passwd" in root (with gainroot package, "sudo gainroot").

Hum, my bad, I have read the entire thread 2-3 times and missed that. I suppose it's what it do when you read and have your attention on something else (playing with the neat feature on the tablet)

It has 2 effects:
- Makes all dialogs draggable (highly desirable, since some apps in Debian have dialogs too large to fit on-screen)
- Makes all dialogs start up in the corner of the screen. (collateral damage; it's not as nice, but no real harm, since you can always drag them back...)
EDIT: Plainspeak translation: No, you won't install the hack; you did that earlier!
As for cleaner solutions, it's just the way matchbox does things; using a different window manager or writing and submitting a patch to matchbox are pretty much the options available...

Thank you very much for explaining clearly!
Other small question : If I only run the Debian application in IceWM, I am not affected if I revert back to non dragable screen, if I understand correctly?

I believe that's entirely correct.

Okay, so I got the package installed and extracted, and got the "congratulations" message, but what do I do now? The debian chroot program is asking for a password that I don't have, and if there's another way to start it up I don't know about it. This is my first time modifying my precious little tablet, so I'm a little confused.

First, reboot after congrats message. I think I'll add that to the install instructions.
Sounds like you need to install some way to get root(like easyroot), or you can try (after rebooting, from X-Term, not Debian chroot):

Hmm, "passwd" doesn't seem to be working. I also tried "rootme" and just "root". Do you have to put the root password into debian chroot to start the debian programs?
Okay, hold on, this is weird. I used easyroot to change my password, but then anytime chroot (or any other terminal) prompts me for the root password, it does not recognize it. I went back into easyroot, changed it again, same deal. What's going on? What password is it asking for?
