@hawhill: Do you know of a way to "pause" the framework, so it does not mess with the framebuffer, but can be resumed quickly (not needing a full framework start)?

I tried to kill -STOP the /usr/java/bin/cvm process, which certainly works but seems rather extreme. Even the power switch stops. I can still run launchpad apps though.

kill -CONT resumes the cvm process, but when it wakes up it wierds-out, asking if I want to "Delete Collection"... Hmm...

There *must* be a better way...

P.S. I really do like your PDF viewer. The double-buffered (pre-cached) rendering is great. Keep up the great work. The updates might feel faster if the next-page does a mode 2 (fast) update on button press, followed by a full flash mode 1 update on button release. Mode 21 (negative image) updates could be a useful option.
