[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Question about intercepting the HOME button

[From: Benjamin Zeller]

You are right the maemo-af-desktop handles the key.
I already written a patch where you can switch off the home button by 
sending a DBus Message to maemo-af-desktop.
But you have to create a new rootfs and flash it to your nokia.
If you need the patch send me a email. BTW the patch is for the current 
InternetTablet 2005 Version of maemo.
