The icons shouldn't be a problem methinks. It should run without them.

Just figured I'd mention, since I'd forgotten to at the time; I gave up on it (temporarily), so you needn't bother putting your new tablet back up for public access on my accoun.

I have enough OSes now, that I'll just install KDE on one if I get serious about it again...

I wonder if Benson could get it working through this project where he's trying to get ITOS apps running in a chroot. It seems to me that if one could do that and overcome the dbus issues involved, something like this would be trivial.

Little update. The problem is not the Sapwood server. I have multiple OS2008 partitions on my N800. I booted to one and then mounted another one and then did a chroot into it. Then, from within the chroot, I ran "browser" as user. I got a bunch of sapwood-server errors ("must be started before applications" ... "Connection refused" ... etc) BUT the browser started up and displayed correctly in OS2008.

I started KDE, did the same chroot procedure, ran "browser" as user, got the same Sapwood errors... but the usual eternal "Updating" behavior still happened.

So there's something else that the browser framework is waiting for. Perhaps some daemon that the browser is expecting is getting shut down when you start KDE. Any ideas?

EDIT1: Interesting. When I closed the browser in KDE, I got a new error.

What is this Browser Plugin Manager? How is it run? It seems that it isn't getting started in KDE, but it is running in OS2008 because I didn't get that error when closing the browser in OS2008.

EDIT2: The correct way to start the browser seems to be via DBUS. So, you should use the browser_dbuscmd.sh script. But when I try:

I get that error trying to run browser_dbuscmd.sh from OS2008, too. So nevermind.

EDIT3: Curiouser and curiouser. After doing my KDE test, the chroot browser no longer works in OS2008 either. Now I just get a blank screen and a bunch of GLIB errors like the following:

It makes me wonder if I wasn't just running the non-chroot browser the first time.

Remember, the browser now (OK, whenever Diablo is released) has a separate daemon and what-not. Someone with Diablo ought to install KDE and try it -- it's possible it just works...
