First ... Yes doing diskwriter related change did remove the problem with sound.

Second the LANG=C is the only way to get menus.... Best not to skip this one.

Third I'm running on OS2007 (latest) on an n800 About to try it on a 770 hopefully this evening.

On the Z order yes that is a problem. Mostly due to the highly gutted nature of the WM in the OS. Not having Z order is a minor pain, just to get xmms, I'll live with that one. Skins work really well too. The biggest "YIPPPEEE" is the EQ in xmms, it really helps the sound quality.

Final for me is that in order to get the menu icons to work correctly (meaning click and get words on the buttons etc.) I did the following

1. cd /usr/bin
2. mv xmms xmms.real
3. vi xmms (and it should look like) (updated)

#!/bin/sh

#create variable so that the switch in the Exec statement is active
sw=$*
LANG=C
/usr/bin/xmms.real $sw

4. chmod 755 /usr/bin/xmms

Now the two icons created in 'Extras' by the install work. Once you have it up and running I found you need to edit the fonts tab in Preferences (to reflect something the Nokia has. ) Haven't yet come up with a good substitute. working on that one.

Also I still haven't found a good substitute for the "lost app" problem if you minimize. Other than xterm and kill.
