I too am a Unix Admin and look forward to seeing what I can and can't do with this device.

If a normal WM is possible, as your videos truly make it look, then so much more will be possible with this device.
Yes, no right click yet. I was able to get the WPrefs working, had to drop back to 0.91

I used WPrefs to set the N800 button to bring up the menu. So far I have xterm, oskeys-x and controlpanel on the menu. This allows you to boot up, start xterm and start the virtual keyboard.

The virtual keyboard I am using works great but runs at like 100% CPU. But it drops all CPU usage when anything else needs it. Its now easy to launch, so you do not need it running all the time.

Again, Like I said before, I am not a developer, I can cobble together a working desktop, (working enough) But some developers need to get onboard and work towards having a second WM option. I hope to include a shortcut to switch window managers when I put out the tarball

I'm compiling wmaker for 770 for fun and I have some problems so
I have some questions:
1. What is the browser in the first video? (integrated one doesnt work, minimo shows " could not start minimo, dillo doesnt compile cuz wants sth-config not pkg-config, others have a lot of deps and I feel locked in the world of endles compilation.
2. How do you make hildon apps work? (On some WMs they just open . not all of course, but in wmaker nothing happens.
Thanks in advance
