However, it takes some time to load and display all the icons, and thus I decided not to load them
by default. They really are only eye candy so you need to manually enable them from the fluxbox
menu if you want them.
You may find it quicker to start the X/Qt application from the X/Qt tab in the QTopia desktop or
using the fluxbox menu. You can also use xlauncher from the console or an exterm to start X
applications. Just run xlauncher with the application's executable as the argument and xlauncher
will start the application you specified. If X is already running, the application will just appear inside
X, but if X has not been started yet, it will start X first before starting the application.
xlauncher will also enable swap if a swapfile exists and is not enabled yet (you really should create
a swapfile for running X applications). xlauncher can also be used to allow your X application to be
launched from your Qt desktop.
Also, you should install
sudo
if you don't have it installed already (Cacko has it installed by default
whereas the default Sharp ROM does not). xlauncher can be run as root if sudo is not available, but
it is probably worth it to get sudo installed and configured. Once sudo is properly configured,
xlauncher will be able to take advantage of it and be able to enable the swapfile automatically for
you.
You can download the xqt-gtk-jumbo package from the following locations:
my Zaurus mirror site (http://zaurus.daemons.gr/menaie/mirror/jumbo/xqtipk/)
Bam's site (http://www.thegrinder.ws/Meanies_XQT/ipk/)
Chuckster's site (http://www.chuckster.org/zaurus/)
Daniel's mirror (http://hplx.mine.nu/daniel/zaurus/xqt)
Updated versions of xqt-debian-scripts can be found at:

The X/Qt jumbo package needs to be installed to main memory. If installing to SD or CF, ipkg-link
needs to be run to relink the files and directories, but since ipkg-link does not exist on the standard
C3100, C3000 and C1000, I have made a
xipk-link
script (part of my ipktools package) which can
relink the X/Qt files and directories so that they can run from SD or CF card.
Installing X/Qt compressed image
I have also created a
xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs
and
xqt-gtk-jumbo.squashfs
compressed image
which can be installed anywhere you like, since you simply need to mount it and run
xqt-setup
to
configure it. If you later decide to move it somewhere else, all you need to do is re-run
xqt-setup
and you are back in business again. This should make installation much simpler and quicker.
