TMavica,
which theme are you using?

can you run this:

Code:
find  /usr/share/icons -name 'general_settings*'
and paste the results in this thread?

(I used an icon name that I probably should not have: 'gtk-preferences'.)

I will attach a newer version to this message shortly, using a better icon name that your phone should have.

@TMavica

The problem with the earlier build was entirely due to a symlink to the 'general_settings' icon called 'gtk_preferences'. That symlink is non-existent on most N900s, I think, but because I had it I didn't see the problem. Python is sooo fragile! :/

You may not have noticed, but there was a bug in the last version you downloaded that prevents the configuration being saved (the dialog does not close when you click 'Save')

I have fixed this, and added in more logging to help troubleshoot any future issues, but for now I think we're all good with the version attached to this post.

If it works for you I will reattach it to post #1 and upload to extras-devel.

I would be grateful if you would test this version works on your phone and let me know.

And no problems with your English!
I recommend to you the software which is named of "mcip", it replace the default virtual keyboard and could input chinese by pinyin method. Also it could input english letters.

As your nice work, now the mcip had worked well with mscim. Just a few days ago, they can not coexist.



ps. Welcome to China!

MSCIM is now in the extras-devel Maemo repository. Thank you, everyone for your help in testing it.

For those who already have extras-devel enabled, simply refresh/update your package list and search for 'mscimswitcherstatus'

The package will stay in quarantine for 10 days and then we can vote for it to be uploaded to extras-testing.

Please go to the below URL if you would like to enable extras-devel on your phone:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras#Extras-devel

Do read all the warnings before enabling extras-devel. If you are a very careful user you may want to enable extras-devel, install mscimswitcherstatus and then disable extras-devel again.

Sunbeam, you may want to see the below thread, which explains how to use dbus-scripts to save power:

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...t=dbus-scripts

Is your interest in power-saving when the keyboard is closed? If so, you can do it today using the method in the above thread (just need to find the details of the keyboard open/close events).

At some point I could probably make mscimswitcherstatus depend on dbus-scripts, and make a simple GUI to adjust when to disable.
