I've written a few scripts to help manage some things on my Freerunner. I'm
sharing them in case anyone else might find them useful to either use or just
see as a reference for how to code something themselves. One is a very
simple IMAP mail reader program. The rest are a set of scripts mainly
written to provide a GUI interface to several command only type things. They
also handle things like dimming the screen and powering on/off wifi. I
initially started writing them on 2007.2 but updated most of it to work on
debian which is what I use now. More info about them can be found here along
with download links:

Here are some things the collection of scripts can do:
-launcher tab to easily launch most common apps; it only lists apps that
have "Main" as a category in the .desktop file
-wifi power on/off and ifup/ifdown eth0
-misc tab to do things like view battery status, change screen brightness,
launch xkill, change usbmode, change screen orientation; really anything I
need a button to do, I put here
-"lock" tab that is mostly blank (so nothing accidentally gets run) with a
really small enable/disable lock button at the bottom; I've since switched to
just having the desktop get displayed for my "lock" mode, but the
enable/disable button still works
