Weird! From which repositories did you carry out the install?

Can't see it yet on extras-devel - how long does such an update take usually?

EDIT: Got it now, installed it, and everything looks good. It should quickly go into Extras-testing now - quite a few may shy away from Extras-devel, but will feel less foolhardy to download from testing.

The top panel is now gone or there and not clickable? Did you do any heavy modifications of themes or suchlike?

Good job on the keyboard fixes, that was driving me crazy because Easy Debian has filled a few gaps I've run into with Maemo.

I do have a question though. There are a handful of applications I am using in easy debian that do not allow me to right click via a touch and hold. Specifically, I am using EBView (epwing/japanese dictionary viewer) and to activate SCIM I have to bring up the right-click menu and select it via the input methods list (key bindings, etc. don't respond.) Unfortunately EBView just ignores the tap-and-hold, and my solution thus far is to swap the mouse buttons, activate it, and revert.

Is there a way to explicitly send a right-click via a keypress + tap?

top panel gone completely...and i cant get the logout options by pressing on the desktop for a few secs (used to be avialable previously)....another thing that happens is the side panel keeps getting displayed and disappearing in quick succession...until i hold the panel in place by pressing the screen when it stops...not sure whats going on? no, i dont have any themes or anything undesirable cosmetics such like but do have lxde, ica receiver etc.

If you de-install and re-install Easy Debian - just the application, not the image - this should re-install the configuration files for the LXDE panels.

EDIT: To make clean slate, you could do
Code:
rm -r /home/user/.config/lx*
rm -r /home/user/.config/openbox
rm -r /home/user/.config/pcmanfm
after de-installing and before re-installing Easy Debian.

If you can be bothered, I would suggest that you now nevertheless upgrade again to the extras-devel version. I don't know what's going on, but perhaps this was just a fluke and you don't have any issues now?
