You can upgrade Qtopia like this:
shutdown Qtopia (/etc/init.d/qpe stop)
remove /opt/Qtopia
copy new Qtopia to /opt/Qtopia (via scp)

That's pretty straight forward. Tricky part is where to get new Qtopia
as tarball or whatever to copy it. One possibility is to compile
yourself. It's not difficult and you are always up-to-date. The
precompiled images are not so often updated.

Get the Qtopia toolchain for FR [1]. Unpacking it to / will install into
/opt/toolchains/arm920t-eabi/
Get the latest snapshot [2].
Create a build dir and run configure -device ficgta01 then build it.
