Thanks in advance.

@shawnjefferson - I have Diablo5 as well and love it. I also run 90% or more of my apps in fullscreen and would love to skip that extra step in having to push the fullscreen key. But at least the N810 makes it easy.
apt-get keeps the debs temporarily in /var/cache/apt/archives

The problem is when to use wmctrl.

Some apps take awhile to launch like Rapier, others, not so much.

I wonder how Yerga hacked the Control Panel to launch full screen?

You can have a conditional loop running "wmctrl -l" to detect when the window has opened. Add a timeout so the background process eventually exits if the launched program fails.
Something like:
Code:
t=0;n=$(wmctrl -l|wc); while [ "$n" == "$(wmctrl -l|wc)" ]&&[  $t -le $timeout ]; do sleep 1; t=$((t+1)); done

Er... why are you trying to install the debug package? Install the normal package instead.

Could I use wmctrl to automatically redraw the home screen every time it rotates?

The command button in ASUI or personal menu is useful for apps that don't support fullscreen and ignore the hardware key.

It looks like matchbox uses gconf so maybe I can have it watch a gconf key to always use fullscreen for windows. Poke me if I forget.

^ Consider yourself poked at.

But yeah, that was only for apps where the full screen key does not do anything such as Garnet VM, Personal Menu and Launcher, etc.

I just finished up my cool web app that does what maemopad does but a lot better and am starting on an offline maemo app that does what the web app does and syncs with the web app when online. So notes written in the maemo app or web app are always accessible from either, after a sync.

There are also a bunch of untested fixes for ASUI that need attention soon but I'll try to patch up matchbox since it shouldn't be that much work. Just don't hold your breath cuz I'd had to be responsible for killing someone.
