Code:

$ dbus-send --system --print-reply /com/nokia/icd_ui com.nokia.icd_ui.show_conn_dlg
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "show_conn_dlg" with signature "" on interface "com.nokia.icd_ui" doesn't exist
$ dbus-send --system --dest=com.nokia.icd_ui --print-reply /com/nokia/icd_ui com.nokia.icd_ui.show_conn_dlg
method return sender=:1.33 -> dest=:1.78

So I think it likes the latter better? Or maybe I'm sending it directly to the null void, so it can't complain about non-existing method interface signatures...

I don't know... someone else mess with it. My N800 has 10 minutes remaining on its backup dump of everything; so I'm off to prepare for the world's first quad-boot N800 (that I know of).

I want to add seperators in my application list... how can I do that? at this time I added 'dumb' entries that do not have any commands associated....

jmalet: If you are running the latest version, Create an entry with a name but no executable, and it will be treated as a heading.

The problem with real menu separators in a multi-column menu, I have found, is that they still take up a full entry height and don't just slip between two entries. This is a big waste of real estate. There is probably a solution, but I don't have one yet.

I've been using PersonalMenu for few weeks, and I've just noticed the option to configure the original maemo menu is not available any more in [Configuration panel] / [Personalization]

I am not sure, but I think it was there until recently... any thought? How can I get it back?

Yes, this icon "panel" just disappeared.. I can't reorganize my maemo menu anymore

==
EDIT: Nevermind. Actually I changed the personal menu icons and a too big one was used in the control panel. I guess it pushed the last line out of the screen!

So Just download the program....
and I'm trying figure out how to set up a run command. I have a file called "Chase.xls" on my internal card, and I want a shortcut to open in gnumber. What's the run command for this I should enter?

Hi fiferboy,

I get this on my n800-os2008-50.2 when I try to update from 0.8-3 to 0.8-5 version:

Thx for all your nice apps.

Edit: Realised that it wasn't fetching the version from extras (and solved this) by disabling first the extra-devel repository.

Hello all, sorry for the newbie question. I have the latest (i think) version of personal menu 0.8-5. I have no idea how to add programs to execute. what should I put in the Command to execute bar? Let's say I want to add the PDF reader there. Thanks!
