Tip #1 - shorten openoffice.org startup. Fire up an openoffice instance (ex. writer), go to tools / options, then in the list look for openoffice.org and memory. Change "use for openoffice.org" to 30MB and "memory per object" to 2MB. Seems to work in my hands albeit I did no measures (placebo is enough for me :-).
Taken from http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/pdfs/do...feat_speed.pdf which is a very interesting source of speeding advices.

Tip #2 - move around windows in matchbox. Very useful with debian apps windows under hildon/matchbox. See http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...cking+matchbox - thanks to Anakin -
and apply the "DIALOGMODE = free" hack. I already posted it in another, more obscure, thread, but this is relevant also in this debian chroot thread.

Tip #3 - toggle maximization of debian apps windows with n810 keyboard. If you are already using keylaunch to get mouse right click, add the following line to your /etc/keylaunchrc file

Code:

key=*...Pressed F6:/home/user/togglewindowstate

and make a /home/user/togglewindowstate like that:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b toggle,fullscreen
exit 0

Then, when you press shift+the hardware maximize button, you'll toggle the maximized state of any window including debian apps.
