Here's the error message:
# su user - -c "/usr/bin/kagu-scanner --install"

The application 'kagu-scanner.py' lost its connection to the display localhost:10.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.
(The debug1: messages are, I think, from ssh/dropbear. The problem is
that there is no xauth binary for the N800 that I've been able to find.)
Unsetting DISPLAY, I get this:

So what it looks like is that the import of pygtk (or gtk) is trying to
initialize the X11 system, and failing. Maybe modifying the scanner so
it doesn't do the import on the "--install" codepath?

Oh, it's plenty fast (when installing via the AM). The slowness I was
whining about was the application manager.

If I was installing via the AM, and it hung for 150 seconds with no
visible output, I'd be worried.

Okay, I'll poke around there. Thanks for the response.
