Right, I'm using nodm and it works fine.
I've also added my own user, so I'm not running as root all the time.
I did that following this bit (Skip the second instruction.)
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debian#Running_X_as_normal_user
Then I only changed the username in /etc/init.d/nodm file (from root to
skerit)
Then I created the /home/skerit/.xsession file:
xfce4-session &
zhone &
openmoko-panel-plugin
And last but not least, I had to add this to the /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost debian-gta02
I'm not using the matchbox window manager, btw. I had more problems with
it then with xfce4's wm.
