Fantastic, thanks!

In case anyone else wants to use it, my .xsession is now:
#!/bin/sh
fbpanel &
openmoko-panel-plugin &
zhone &
exec matchbox-window-manager -use_titlebar no -use_cursor no
and works well. (I'm not sure what the matchbox-keyboard-toggle was
for in the old /usr/bin/zhone-session; is that what made the AUX
button toggle the keyboard? Anyway, if you use openmoko-panel-plugin,
you get a keyboard popup button, so don't need the AUX button as
well.)
And a vaguely related tip: as a terminal I recommend xfce4-terminal
rather than xterm, as it has scrollbars that can be operated with only
left click, and also a nicer default font.

Neil
