Handy notes:

Application catalogue update is about 9.2MB as of 2010-09-24,
on roaming data, auto updates of the app manager application
catalogues gets expensive. I can't find a UI way of disabling
auto updates.

From X terminal / sshing into the device

<pre>
sudo gainroot
gconftool -g /apps/hildon/update-notifier/check_interval
gconftool -st int /apps/hildon/update-notifier/check_interval 144000
</pre>

NB
Default is 1440 minutes (24 hours)
144000 is 100 days
max is 2147483647 is (2^31)-1 (4085.something years)

More useful UK keyboard mapping

/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51

To add home/end/pgup/pgdown on the arrow keys with Fn, and without
breaking shift to select text, replace the final section with

<pre>
xkb_symbols "arrows_4btns" {
key <UP> { type[Group1] = "PC_FN_LEVEL2", symbols[Group1] = [ Up, Page_Up ] };
key <LEFT> { type[Group1] = "PC_FN_LEVEL2", symbols[Group1] = [ Left, Home ] };
key <DOWN> { type[Group1] = "PC_FN_LEVEL2", symbols[Group1] = [ Down, Page_Down ] };
key <RGHT> { type[Group1] = "PC_FN_LEVEL2", symbols[Group1] = [ Right, End ] };
};
</pre>

and to activate it

<pre>
setxkbmap
</pre>

For remapping Fn+shift keys, j k z x have issues - try on a non modified
mapping, they'll each give two symbols..
