Hi,

I have hildonized gpsdrive a bit and want it to appear in the task
navigator after startup.

For the following PWD=/var/lib/install.

gpsdrive has to be started via the script "usr/bin/gpsdrive.sh".

If I specify this file in the .desktop file, gpsdrive can be started in
the correct way from the menu and via "run-standalone.sh
usr/bin/gpsdrive.sh" but doesn't show up in the task navigator.

If I specify ".../usr/bingpsdrive" (the binary executable) in
the .desktop file, only the application is startet broken (needed parts
from the script are not executed) BUT it shows up in the task navigator
after that. If I start it vi run-standalone.sh everyting is fine (e.g.
correct startup AND showing in task navigator).

How can I fix this?

Greets, Jonek.
