I was wrong. It does check if the app has a screenshot or not, but it
does not take the next app, in case there is no screenshot. It just
displays the image with the big question mark.
However the code -in its current form- is not able to select the 'nth'
application from a list, so can't really look for the 1st "proper"
application in a loop, for example.

Alexey: I am using this URL to load the "hottest" Maemo5 apps:
http://maemo.org/midcom-substyle-bannerblocks/downloads/score/Maemo5/1

Isn't that actually the URL for the top karma app? If yes, then we
solved the problem..
