LXDE is openbox, with the LXDE stuff on top

Yeah, openbox as the wm--didn't know which one it used. I just like plain openbox with obmenu, obconf, etc.

EDIT:
Although without right-click there really isn't a point. Is there a way to right-click?

Also, I tried to setup a bluetooth mouse, but it didn't work... any mouse movement put the cursor at the screen edge. I dunno.

so ive installed xfwm4..but like ubuntu if i want to change sessions i log out change session and log in...how do you do it on easy debian...logging out closes the windows..and trying to manually start xfwm from the chroot terminal, it outputs that another window manager is already running

You need to find the script that starts your desktop environment (startxfce4 perhaps?) make sure it is in /usr/bin in Debian, and then run this from Maemo:

As usual, I haven't actually tried this and I don't plan to; you'll need to figure it out as you go...

Qole,

When testing Gnumeric v1.9.16, it would hang (high CPU usage) when trying to open .xls and .gnumeric files... now with v1.9.17 that problems seems to be gone. But I notice that when running under your m5-v2 debian image the problem persists... under your m5 debian image no such problem.

--denis

Edit: The theme configured in this m5-v2 image appears to trip Gnumeric... I don't know how to disable the theme fully for LXDE sessions, but from the chroot cli commenting the contents of ~/.gtkrc-2.0 to disable the theme allows Gnumeric to work. The problem occurs just as Gnumeric has read a spreadsheet and is ready to display it... that's where this new thme nails down Gnumeric and makes it starts using all of the CPU.

well the start command for xfce is xfwm4 and it does not run...so i just did xephwm5 Xephyr under chroot and it gave me the black window with the control back to dashboard..so xephyr was running for sure..just when i start xfwm4 the window would close..

Hi,
I am waiting for my n900 to ship and I want to ask:
How fast is easy debian working on the n900? you know, firefox, gimp, open office etc.

I have searched for videos (in youtube, dailymotion,,,) of easy debian for n900 but all I found is for the n810.

If there is a video of n900 please post a link.
Thanks!

VERY easy.

1. add extras-devel repository.
2. install easy debian
3. run easy debian (which will download the rootfs image)
4. play.

Fine-tuning can take more time, depending on how anal you are

twoboxen: I can't install easy debian because I don't have a n900 yet. That's why I asked.

for those who like their window managers stupendously light... can i recommend ratpoison. it runs wonderfully well in easy debian, and uses no screen realestate whatsoever.

not recommended for those who find the command line scary!
