The launcher was evil. All it did was setting a /proc/sys/vm/ variable that allowed the kernel to promise applications more memory than it actually has. This changes the behavior of all applications and it was never ever set back, not even when navit exited. Promising apps more memory than you have (especially with no swap by default) is tricky, because when apps start claiming the memory they got promised, the kernel has no choice but to deny apps that, or to kill of processes at (near) random in order to free more RAM. This is a hell to reproduce and debug, for a user it seems to be random crashes of various apps. So it was removed. If people actually want that setting we can think about how to do it (I believe Zoff is writing a more advance launcher script), but it should not be enabled by default for all. spaetz
