[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] sapwood server looking for wrong X display?

[From: Russell Geldmacher]

In regards to my last email, I figured out the problem.

In that mail I neglected to mention that my home directory under
Scratchbox is in a non-standard location (ie, not in /home/username).
I noticed I could run stand-alone applications just fine, so I figured
the problem was somewhere in af-sb-init.sh. I looked at the file and
lo and behold, there is this line:

# overriding some variables
export HOME="/home/$USER"

Commenting out that 'export' did the trick and fixed my problem. I can
now launch applications from the launcher.

So, this begs the question, is that override necessary in the first place?

Thanks,
rusty
