avidscavenger: I've built-in a test to check for "/dev/mapper" in the next version. Thanks for your help.

extendedping: The next version will also have support for pre-close scripts, the same as the post-open scripts:

Place any (Maemo) commands you wish to run before you close the chroot into the /var/run/onclosechroot-ext.rc file (inside your rootfs),
Place any commands you wish to run from inside the chroot before you close the chroot into the /var/run/onclosechroot.rc file (inside your rootfs)

This probably been addressed in the wiki but I didn't understand how to fix...

When running xcadabra (or xmaxima) I need to use curly brackets to make
tensors (i.e. A_{a,b}). Fortunately, in LDXE it works fine because I have xbindkeys
set up to make these. For example, "control left arrow" is defined to make a {.
However, when using debbie In xterminal the new key defintions
did not work. I tried "debbie xbindkeys" and "debbie-sue xbindkeys" to see if the keys
would be redefined but no luck.

Any idea how to fix this?

Maxima commands are executed by Shift+Return, provided one has selected "Enter evaluates cells" in the configure menu and xbindkeys is running (the "Set Deb HW Keys" icon). If the configure menu is too much scrambled under debbie, you can also do it from LXDE.
Hi there! Thanks for this super-hint rebhana!
I was looking for some application like this!
But now i think there's a problem.

I used this application happily since i red your comment, no problems - everything was fine. Yesterday i had to flash my N900 because i ruined my phone by some creepy apps (probably). So i flashed it including the kernel, setting up everything thing needed also easy-debian (0.9.53-1). I installed the new version of Open-Office described in the wiki via squeeze-repository (it was enabled only during OO-instalation). After this i tried installing wxmaxima as well but now there is this problem:
Starting wxmaxima but nothing happens. It says "maxima startet, waiting for connection" in the lower right corner - thats all. I can't input anything, after a wile it is crashing. While i was searching for solutions i found some related bugs (here, here and here).

I posted this issue in this thread because i can imagine the error might be depending on a newer version of easy-debian. Is ist also possible that there are missing packages?

Yep... you can try remapping the keyboard described on this helpfull page

Probably there are other solutions...

Weird! So you did exactly as I described above? OO from squeeze, but the rest from lenny, and wxmaxima from lenny-backports? (I read somewhere wxmaxima from lenny would have problems, but don't know which precisely, so make sure you got wxmaxima from lenny-backports!)

For comparison, my versions are
Code:
maxima         5.13.0-3.1
xmaxima        5.13.0-3.1 
wxmaxima      0.8.2-1~bpo50+1

Thanks for the info. I like the way I have currently set up my
keymapping using .xbindkeysrc so I was hoping I could still utilize this.
In an earlier post (1704) I noticed the use of

Exec=debbie "xbindkeys; wxmaxima"

and thought I could do the same but it did not work for me.
