Yes, the application starts from the menu too. This is what the files
contain:

APPNAME.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=APPNAME
Exec=/var/lib/install/usr/bin/APPNAME
Icon=qgn_grid_gene_default_app
X-Window-Icon=maemopad-window
X-Window-Icon-Dimmed=maemopad-window-dimmed
X-Osso-Service=fi.tut.cs.APPNAME
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

fi.tut.cs.APPNAME.service:

[D-BUS Service]
Name=fi.tut.cs.APPNAME
Exec=/var/lib/install/usr/bin/APPNAME

APPNAME is naturally always the same... yes, even the "Name" field of
the desktop file matches the binary name. Hope this helps!
