Whas my fault that I have not include the last modifiations I have done
to /usr/share/applications/gnuchess.desktop file
please edit it and replace

Exec=gnuchess 

whit this
Exec=openmoko-terminal2 -x gnuchess

I believe it is a combination of inestability of accelerometers and
sound if any of those elementes doesn't work mookow, still silent on
even it doesn't open at all, it uses to work with the Neo just rebooted.
as experiment you can  execute the Moocow throug  terminal and if no
detect any sound device it will log the moos in the terminal.

Well those forced dependecies is because I consider more important the
stability of the hole system than if one app works or not, for exemple 
setting up angstrom repo, opkg update, opkg install whatelse will have
very high probabilities to end with a bricked neo and to reinstall the
whole sistem again, I know in first hand :)

I suppose I have (wrong) supposed this libs are alredy updated like the
rest, just install the correct ones if you wish, but finally we have
decided to no intall pidgin because it badly segfaults.

ok I note it for next release thank you :)

And ,why instead of abandon send this script fixed to us? :) 

This bug report is very valuable, I will post it in Fdom-devel list
