OK, after weeks of screwing me around, the python SDK installer finally consented to complete installation. Yay.

So I want to run Xephyr and see actual Maemo 5 GUI software running. What do I do?

When the python installer finishes, it says I should start Xephyr by "clicking the icon on the Desktop". There is no such icon on the desktop, even though I did ask the installer to create one, and indeed the log claims to have done so:

Code:
V [08:01:13 21.02.2010]: S: 7/9 Installing xephyr desktop shortcut
V [08:01:13 21.02.2010]: Starting to install xephyr desktop shortcut
V [08:01:13 21.02.2010]: Executor starting task <bound method ExecutorThread.__taskInstallSbHomeShortcut of <__main__.ExecutorThread object at 0xa19ed6c>>
It did manage to create a link to sbhome. Why anyone would want such a link is impossible to say, but the installer does seem capable of creating links on the desktop if it really wants to.

Is there some way to start Xephyr from the command line?

Still not at all impressed by this rickety system Nokia has given us...
