Yes, the gnumeric.desktop file is moved and no longer in MyDocs directory, but i don't see the shortcut in the app list..
So maybe something's wrong with my code
Code:
cat /home/user/.local/share/applications/hildon/gnumeric.desktop
Code:
[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Name=gnumeric Icon=gnumeric Exec=debbie gnumeric Type=Application
If still no - perhaps you haven't installed gnumeric yet?
That is most easily done with the Debian chroot terminal app (red swirl icon), by typing in
Code:
apt-get update apt-get install gnumeric apt-get clean

As to startup speed, I now get slightly above 1 minute when launched the first time, and when repeated around 45 sec. (time until the cursor appears in oowriter). With 3.1 it remained around 1 minute.
EDIT: The timings were for debbie. Curiously, in LXDE I get lower values - sometimes just 30 secs for repeated launches of oowriter.
EDIT2: @qole, what about securing a version of all OO3.2 armel packages in sid in case it gets again withdrawn or broken in the next versions?
Instead of "apt-get install ...all the extra files" you can just
apt-get install openoffice.org
and save some typing. Of course you'll probably get whatever else that may be missing.
The best time I got, assuming OOo is not opened" was about 35s to 36s to start typing. Rebhana, Just curious, is your n900 running at 600Mhz?
While using OOo writer I got a phone call. This disabled the
keyboard. Fortunately, I could still get out of OOo using the
stylus. But when I reopened OOo writer, the keyboard still did not work. I tried to use the fix keyboard icon but it did not help.
If I then shutdown the Debian LXDE and then fire it up again OOo writer with keyboard worked.
I also duplicated this by calling the phone with OOo writer running. Perhaps this should be a standard test (if it is not already) that any app should work if the app is running and a phone call is received.
It would be good if someone could check to see if they have the same problem. Is there a way to disable the phone when using
an app?
UPDATE: Apparently the phone disabling the keyboard may be a Debian LXDE problem. I also opened the Debian LXDE from scratch
and tried typing in ROXterm. It worked before the call but not after.
As another check I opened the xterm form maemo desktop
and I could type before and after receiving a call.

Have you also tried OO outside of LXDE (from the application icon)? Or is that what you meant by the other check using "xterm"?

Easy Debian needs approximately 0MB in rootfs.
EDIT:
Also, if you lose keyboard in LXDE, put LXDE on top and then hit the power key. Dismiss the power key menu by tapping outside the menu, on the blurred LXDE window. You should be able to type in LXDE now.
Is that trick not in the wiki? It should be.

Can I delete the image and reinstall it (without having to do anything else) with the "Deb Img Install" shortcut, if I ever just want to start over?
How safe is apt-get autoremove these days?

DrSteve: Yes, you can just delete the image and reinstall it. Make sure you "close" the chroot first, however!
Not sure what the apt-get autoremove comment is referring to. Inside the chroot? Or in Maemo? It would have no effect on the image file...
