I really like the look of your solution. I would prefer to use the + key, but the big question I have is:
If you're using xmodmap already (like we're doing for IceWM and the N810 keyboard), will this hack interfere with your already-loaded keymap? I'm hoping that each time you run xmodmap in your click-scripts it will only affect the mouse buttons, but if it erases the other mappings, I'll have to steer clear of this...
Hi Qole - While I have not explicitly tested this with the n810 keyboard (due to lacking of an n810), I am under the impression that it is incremental (e.g. it doesn't reset previous items unless specified). I'll try redefining another key and see if it remains preserved through execution of the mouse flipping scripts.
An alternative is for someone more knowledgeable than myself to figure out why that C++ program seems to only affect windows or the root window, but not both at once (although, if it only affects windows, it still could be useful for OS2008 games and the like potentially).
Benson, there is still something wrong with Debbie. She doesn't play well with the Weasel. "debbie iceweasel" produces an error about you shouldn't be running with sudo and how you should use the -H parameter, then it sits for a while, then silently fails...

Continuing as if you used the -H option.
PS: I am typing this in Iceweasel ("sudo debian hilda iceweasel" works fine)...
Hmmmm.... I'll take another look, I guess. Strange, but it's just possible that the brokenness is with the iceweasel script... Just don't take that seriously until I get a chance to check it out; I probably don't have things right yet...
I was wondering if there is a way to make the softwares fast, specifically the openoffice.I see the loading is slow and also the functionality is slow.for example when you open the File menu, it opens slowly once and then its working normal..same with loading and rendering a document.IS it possible to make the whole process fast.for example by loading the chroot when OS2008 is booted or initialized or maybe preloading the openoffice libraries..maybe I am missing some reading of these threads about performance issues.How to improve the performance..

Well, here's an upgraded debbie; I will warn that iceweasel now looks horrible here, but I think that's because I clobbered something else, not from debbie.
And I feel quite bad about all the glitches with my scripts; sorry about the inadequate testing. This was, of course, an existing problem, which iceweasel detected properly.
I wouldn't feel too bad Benson.. this is all bleeding-edge/experimental/development stuff when you get into debian.. if someone thinks they can plop on debian and have everything be perfect at this point they are dreaming... But it's certainly getting there.. and you've been a real help to that end as far as I can see..

Well, to Benson, this stuff has been obvious for a long time.

debernardis has an openoffice-specific optimization thread here.
There are other, more complicated ways to make things faster, for instance, you can make a new partition and put your Debian stuff there (instead of in the debian.img.ext2 file); that is quite a bit faster.

I followed your link and read that post. I'll have to give Benson credit -- he even knew the XHTML tags necessary to properly represent "pie in the sky" ideas in the browser.
