I edited the file /etc/matchbox/session or  something like that and removed
the gsm applet.  This is now ok :)

Oh yeah sorry, I did not push long enough :)
The menu shows up, but nothing happens when I hit "shutdown".
update: after a few seconds I get an openmoko splash screen with a scolling
bar, that scolls, stop, and nothing more !
update2: after more time I get some kernel console messages saying "tmpfs is
busy"
update3: nothing happens after this. The kernel+his console are still alive,
and no shutdown occurs.
This item is for the hx4700 mailing list, I think.

Ah thanks, it was trying to mount mtdblock3 /home . No more jffs2 warnings.
