Hi Guys, It's been a long time that I'm using this Hildon Desktop and I'm very satisfied of the result. The only thing I wanted to ask is HOW TO LOCK THE DESKTOP TO PORTRAIT MODE?? When I'm in portrait mode and I want to lock to Portrait mode, it goes automatically to landscape. Thanks in advance!!!

This method worked, but I can't seem to open the desktop customization menu. What should I do?

cheers Mohammad but i'm using ccsu and karam says it's for people who don't use cssu.
i think the way i did it messed up my device i still don't know fully if i've sorted it.
i've installed 100 boxes and that worked ok so i'm guessing so.

just installed tweego and it's not returning that error

i guess you can fix it by doing this :

Code:

gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/menu_edit_disabled -t bool false

@corduroysack
don't do that this will reverse to the old hildon-desktop
just install the one from the 1st post as long as you use CSSU and ignore any updates about hildon-desktop
