I almost got it working, then became terribly busy again and didn't
finish. The problem that was dogging me was that a file didn't have its
permissions set right. If the file actually loads and runs on my Nokia
I'll be shocked. :-)
It's a clever idea - hadn't run into that manifestation of the sandbox
concept before. The tutorial on the Maemo website was helpful yet
confusing because URLs were changed and utilities updated. Can't really
complain about a free product, but it did take a while for me to figure
out. Some of the paths weren't set, I had to create a few links here
and there. It was no doubt made more difficult because it was written
for Debian and I'm running Mandrake. I'll keep you guys posted.
