No problem. It was mostly just me robbing the info from one of qole's posts a little while back

Yes they are; you know Emelfm2 is available for Hildon, too? I use it constantly...

Sadly, no. I haven't really looked to see what Gparted can do yet...

I'm not familiar with those applications. I may take a look in a while...

As qole said, drop the hilda and they run as root.

You mean Hildon apps? Then I strongly recommend you take a look at Personal Menu. It has nice little checkbox's for "Run in Terminal" and "Run as Root" [for hildon apps].
@qole: I happened to stumble across this one:
"sudo debian sudo -u user <app>" to run as user, and:
"sudo debian sudo -u root <app>" to run as root. Pretty kludgy though.
I noticed you ran qtstalker as root. That's almost always a bad idea. I still suspect that your permissions are causing you grief.
From the [root@Debian] prompt, do this:
Code:
rm -r /home/user/.qtstalker
hilda qtstalker
This should delete your qtstalker settings and force the program to re-create them. And since you're running qtstalker as user now (notice the "hilda" in there? Don't forget it!) your permissions should be correct.
If it doesn't run still, post your terminal output...
Thanks Qole and BrentDC WOOOHOOO!! I got both Gparted and GTOrpan running from my menu. To run Gparted from menu properly you need to write out ' Exec=sudo debian gparted /dev/mmcblk0 /dev/mmcblk1 '. In case anyone wants to see their partitions. Now how to get GMPC and QTStalker running properly. TIA
[root@Debian: /]rm -r /home/user/ .qtstalker
rm: cannot remove directory `/home/user': Device or resource busy
rm: cannot remove `.qtstalker': No such file or directory
[root@Debian: /]hilda qtstalker
su user -c qtstalker
Thanks BrentDC for fielding the questions; people seem to listen to you more than to me, for some reason. I guess I'm not spelling things out clearly enough...
OK that 'rm' just trashed my entire unit. I lost all my custom menus. I now have a mouse pointer on my screen!!! I don't have a mouse connected!!! HAHAHAHA!!!! In file manager my user/documents/image folder has disappeared. Any idea how to fix this. I can easily restore Debian the mmc2 dual boot works. But how do I bring up the Maemo stuff. Yikes!! HEEEELLLPPPP!!!
