This is a return of a known problem from the past...  As a workaround you
can edit /usr/share/applications/htop.desktop and change the "exec" line
from "htop" to "vala-terminal htop", then scale down your font size in the
terminal a few steps.

The base image doesn't include mp3 support. Using "opkg install
gst_plugin_mad" should get you going.

Messages, I/O, People, Tele and Plauncher are all parts of Paroli... You
need to start 'Plauncher" first and it does not open a window, but the
other ones still won't start after that.

After the '1', tap the '2' , '3', then '4' to unlock the screen...  Zhone
is going to go away pretty soon it seems, replaced by Paroli.  Zhone was
never completed.
