No that didn't work either. It was the first thing I tried after it didn't work immediately. I'll reboot again just to make sure.

Nvm, I never knew that shutting down while charging didn't shut it down completely. I unplugged it from the charger and then rebooted and now it works fine. Thanks.

Using the matchbox executable at

http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/mat...window-manager

with DIALOGMODE=free, dialog windows start in the centre of screen, like in static mode, while still being movable. To use, simply download the file, copy it to /usr/bin, and reboot.

Matan: I'm obviously not doing something right. I renamed your matchbox-window-manager to "matchbox-window-manager-matan" and copied the /etc/osso-af-init/matchbox.sh script to matchbox-matan.sh, and then I changed the new script to point to your mb-w-m instead of the standard one. I tried to shut down the mb-w-m (using the old matchbox.sh script) and then start the new one (using the new matchbox-matan.sh script) and it did really weird things; the stylus keyboard was up in the top left corner, I couldn't switch windows properly, the decorations disappeared... wow... it's almost as if the new window manager didn't start at all, even though the script acted like it did... no errors, just not working.

Perhaps I have to name it "matchbox-window-manager"? I won't be able to include this version in my package if I can't keep the old wm; completely replacing the wm is too invasive a procedure to inflict on the general public...

EDIT: Here's my script.

Code:
# Shut down Matchbox Window Manager.

. /etc/osso-af-init/af-defines.sh
. /etc/osso-af-init/matchbox.defs
echo dialogmode=$DIALOGMODE 
echo stopping matchbox...
. /etc/osso-af-init/matchbox.sh stop

# Start up Matchbox Window Manager again, with the new settings.

. /etc/osso-af-init/af-defines.sh

# Always run matan mbwm in free mode
. /etc/osso-af-init/matchbox.defs.window-hack

echo dialogmode=$DIALOGMODE 
echo starting matan matchbox...
. /etc/osso-af-init/matchbox-matan.sh start

@Qole: the script isn't finding the executable - I know because when I downloaded Matan's script I didn't realize it had for some strange reason an .html extension so couldn't be invoked - and the symptoms I saw where the same.
Double check file names and executable permissions, maybe there's a typo and you get running *without* m-w-m.

I don't see this problem, and I did not hear any such reports. What version of OS2008 do you use?

I don't see how renaming might cause this, but I expect renaming to cause problems since there might be issues with lifeguard and the rest.

What is the problem with renaming matchbox-window-manager to matchbox-window-manager.orig in postinst script and renaming it back at prerm script?

It sounds very like the wm didn't start. Assuming you have a ssh link up, see if it's in ps output?

Well, I don't think it would need to be that invasive... You could divert the original matchbox-window-manager. In fact, I think this would be the least invasive option to get it to start with the new wm at bootup, which seems preferable. There's no downside to the new one. I suppose, though, until you tweak the config (and then restart anyway), there's no benefit... so maybe that's not a worthy goal.

It was a permissions problem. No execute permission. Thanks debernardis.
