Re: Never Try to Outsmart the OS
Mikhail, the version that I am running is 0.9.1 and I am pretty sure that I used the application manager to install it. If you would like a screenshot or something like that I can send it to you off list. Just let me know what you need. In the scale of annoyances, this is not, for me a biggie since there is a simple workaround. Interestingly, and contrary to my understanding of X11vnc, X11vnc seems to stop running after a period of inactivity (i.e. no connection) and then it must be restarted. I would have thought that, since it runs as a daemon/service, that it would remain running/listening once it is started. In fact, it would be nice if the load-applet could be enhanced to include stop and restart as options for those processes that are installed as daemons and, furthermore, to somehow distinguish them in the process list from those processes that are not daemons/services.

Interestingly, and contrary to my understanding of X11vnc, X11vnc seems to stop running after a period of inactivity (i.e. no connection) and then it must be restarted. I used to see that, and then or no apparent reason it stopped dropping the connection and seems completely reliable now. I would have thought that, since it runs as a daemon/service, that it would remain running/listening once it is started. In fact, it would be nice if the load-applet could be enhanced to include stop and restart as options for those processes that are installed as daemons and, furthermore, to somehow distinguish them in the process list from those processes that are not daemons/services. Even better would be a way to allow connections to services when the N800 is offline (as on a 'plane) or not connected to Wi-Fi. This is a real show-stopper .. nobody seems to know a workaround. :-( mfc ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: Never Try to Outsmart the OS
Misha, the version numbers shown in the application manager installed apps menu are as follows: *App Version #* X11VNC 0.8-3 Free42 1.4.27-hildon3 Unfortunately the metadata associated with the app that is shown in the application manager does not indicate from where the app was taken. I am pretty sure that I took the Free42 app from the maemo downloads www site. Regarding X11VNC, I am less certain of where I got that from.

Re: Never Try to Outsmart the OS
John, Some Maemo DBUS launching stuff was missing from the free42-1.4.27-hildon3 version, try newer one -1.4.29.hildon2. New version should be available in the usual places... After 15 seconds of testing at least you can select and launch it from simple-launcher (haven't tried idea!) Once running and minimized, tapping on it in s-l won't bring it foreground, I dunno if it should... tatu -- http://www.tajuma.com ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
