Which version of the FW were you running before the update?

Whatever the most recent OTA before 5.4.4.2 was... Was that 5.3.8.1?
I hadn't realised a jailbreak could become outdated. I've only ever done the jailbreak once, just after I got the Kindle, and never needed to redo it after OTA updates - reapplying the the python/linkss packages was enough to get the screensaver back. Is it best practice to re-jailbreak after each OTA update?

Again, live and learn, I'd thought Python was necessary for any screensaver - I only use a single custom image, to tell my Kindle apart from the other 3 in the house! Thanks for the explanation.
