Thanks for the response guys, it's nice not to be alone in this ridiculousness!

That's right. That's a big problem for me, so I'm back to hildon/matchbox until I can figure it out.

Try Qt Dialing Pad?

Trying that now. Also trying some of the wifi-switchers.

Odd, but I get the same here. Thought I might have messed something up. I still get errors when trying to bring up the internet with dbus-send in the terminal either way.

I was thinking about trying to write a little python script to do this, but haven't gotten around to it yet. If I really can't figure it out over this weekend, maybe I need a new forum thread. I'll also try asking around on irc. I'm having a hard time navigating all of these sub-forums. I think there might be a developer thread somewhere, but can't find it.

I really want to figure this out, fill in all the gaps and post it to the wiki. It would also be nice to have a boot option to decide which window manager/desktop environment to use. Thinking about GDM, XDM, KDM here.

I save maybe 30-40 MB just by disabling hildon-desktop on startup. Your mileage may vary. It all ends up getting eaten up anyway once I start opening a lot of apps, and then I can't get out of swap without rebooting, but 30-40 MB helps a little.
