Not trying to hijack this, but are there any tips/tricks (outside of remapping keys) for getting ctl-shift-X to work? It is impossible to do without some serious (unnatural) contortions of the hand for me to do.

If you do not remap keys, then ctrl and shift are where they are, and you need to press them + another key. It is possible to use ctrl+fn for shortcuts instead of ctrl+shift, but only if you are willing to give up the special characters panel that opens by ctrl+fn.

The only difference from previous version other than rebasing to PR1.1 is that changing desktops by arrows is faster now.
About problems: this is a work in progress, so there are expected to be bugs. I only release binaries that worked for me for some time, but obviously I cannot test everything. I still suspect that at least some of the problems are due to not following installation instructions properly.
For recovery in case of problems:
- The method I use is a bootmenu + another boot partition. This allows me to restore a known good hildon-desktop in case that I installed one that causes a reboot loop.
- Another option is to install openssh server before hand, and use flasher-3.5 to enable rd-mode. I expect that this will prevent reboots in case of hildon-desktop crashes, so while you can't actually use the device, you can ssh into it and restore a working hildon-desktop.
I'll be happy if people who find a serious bug and have the patience to work on the bug and a have (or are willing to install) a recovery method contact me by private message or email.
how do we install this new version then?
i want this functionality but dont want to stuff my n900 testing it......
thx

If you have a working system, installation consists of (as described in detail in previous post): set gconf keys, backup current hildon-desktop.launch (with mv command), and copy latest hildon-desktop from my page to /usr/bin/hildon-desktop.launch . The extra steps with dbus-scripts and hdk are only needed if you want to use global shortcut keys.
This should not cause a non-working system, but if it does, you need one of the recovery methods described earlier, or a reflash.

Hi Matan
I'm experiencing a compatibility problem between camkeyd and the modified hildon-desktop.
Using the genuine Ctrl-Backspace key works just fine from the desktop, but pressing the camera key (which emulates the ctrl-backspace) is causing hildon-desktop to crash.
The /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/key-actions/ctrl_backspace_in_tasknav is set to 5.
I'm not quite sure which program is responsible, so I've brought it here first.
What other info can I give to you?

I don't see this. Do you have any other customizations - especially transitions.ini?
