This is still a work in progress, but its very useable. There is a bug I can't seem to get rid of. When you close your last window you have open, then "keyboard shortcuts" stop working, if you use the stylus to switch desktops they will work again. Please anyone with any ideas, let me know??
Make sure to set a password before using xlock
Also add sudo ALL = ALL to /etc/sudoers for user user
xmodmap (if you run this from the menu)
Please note this is based on US layout
It will add the following additions to the keyboard
FN + Backspace = [
Shift + Backspace = ]
Shift + Minus = {
Shift + Plus = }
Shift + ? = `
FN + < = |
FN + > = Tab Key
Shortcuts
ctrl + x = xterm
ctrl + t = telnet
ctrl + f = ftp
ctrl + n = connection manager
ctrl + b = browser
ctrl + k = xkill
ctrl + (window key) = next desktop
ctrl + (zoom +) = maximize window
ctrl + (zoom -) = minimize windows
Window Key = Switch Mouse Buttons (Right Click)
Right click on desktop to get application menu, also desktop 2 has some app icons, double click the paper clip.
Battery-status
Whats not included, there is a battery-status WM app running, it will not function unless python is installed.
To install python from a fresh system. This is the way I did it, not to say only or right way. Open application manager, open applications catalogs, enable maemo catalog, now close application manager. open xterm, become root, run "apt-get install python2.5-runtime" I dont see it in my list using application manager, thats why I do it this way?
Additionally there are some other applications listed in the menus, that you may not have installed, like maemo-mapper and skype and mplayer...
HOW TO INSTALL, just install the deb
deb can be obtained from penguinbait.com
Just go to penguinbait.com, right click on "Window Maker deb" link and selct save target as
Then install it, I reccomend saving the deb to SD card to install. The deb will install and use 25MB.
I installed fresh flash with 124.2MB free
After install completed I had 102.6MB free
After removing the deb, I then had 118.4
So installing this and then removing this will leave about 6MB behind. It will not hurt anything and nothing will be running, but some of the libs will not be removed. Sorry, its just the way this works at the moment.
I wanted to do more work on this, but its slow goin, I have some new equipment at work, so I need to spend my time on that. Please enjoy, and let me know what you think, what needs fixing or adding?
I tried to install this and it died trying to replace /usr/bin/pico from the nano package. I removed nano and then it died on wget. I couldn't remove wget by itself (it had deps I didn't want to remove) so I ended up force-all'ing the install.
After that it installed fine and ran without any issues. Looks pretty good
A window manager is a window manager.. Except for the wallpaper/backgrounds everything will be pretty much the same.. (so a google search shows many screenshots for Window maker)
Whether you use Keblet or KDE for Maemo it's still pretty much just KDE.. but Maemo has a zelda on it :P.
Great!!
Few things after a bit of playing (freshly installed diablo on n800)
wmnetload doesn't start: libdockapp.so.2 not found
wmnet throws a badmatch because it cannot find its font.
I downloaded the deb with wget. As wget is also in your deb, it wouldn't install. Doesn't really matter for me.
I'll play more, I like these small WM.
Now I have to download a virtual keyboard
Thanks a lot!
