"sudo debian sudo -u root <app>" to run as root. Pretty kludgy though.

Dan:
I noticed you ran qtstalker as root. That's almost always a bad idea. I still suspect that your permissions are causing you grief.
From the [root@Debian] prompt, do this:
This should delete your qtstalker settings and force the program to re-create them. And since you're running qtstalker as user now (notice the "hilda" in there? Don't forget it!) your permissions should be correct.
If it doesn't run still, post your terminal output...

Thanks Qole and BrentDC WOOOHOOO!! I got both Gparted and GTOrpan running from my menu. To run Gparted from menu properly you need to write out ' Exec=sudo debian gparted /dev/mmcblk0 /dev/mmcblk1 '. In case anyone wants to see their partitions. Now how to get GMPC and QTStalker running properly. TIA

Thanks BrentDC for fielding the questions; people seem to listen to you more than to me, for some reason. I guess I'm not spelling things out clearly enough...

OK that 'rm' just trashed my entire unit. I lost all my custom menus. I now have a mouse pointer on my screen!!! I don't have a mouse connected!!! HAHAHAHA!!!! In file manager my user/documents/image folder has disappeared. Any idea how to fix this. I can easily restore Debian the mmc2 dual boot works. But how do I bring up the Maemo stuff. Yikes!! HEEEELLLPPPP!!!

.... Ouch.
You just remove forced your entire maemo home directory... there likely isn't a way to get that back.. you gotta watch them spaces man o.o...
Looks like you need to re-clone your flash.... There isn't a trash bin when using rm =-(

Boy I missed that one! So what do I do now? See why I need to backup everything. 
@qole: I happened to stumble across this one:
"sudo debian sudo -u user <app>" to run as user, and:
"sudo debian sudo -u root <app>" to run as root. Pretty kludgy though.
