[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] IT2006 no taskmanager icon for SDL app, worked in IT2005

Hello,

were there any changes in handling of taskmanager icons for non-DBUS 
apps (those without service)? Similar .desktop file worked fine in IT2005:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=ScummVM
Exec=/usr/games/scummvm
Icon=scummvm
X-Icon-path=/usr/share/icons
X-Window-Icon=scummvm
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

I'm using shell wrapper similar to the one documented here
http://maemo.org/maemowiki/GameDevelopment#head-c91f345718121fbd009c639728f9de0104308789
The application starts fine but there is no icon.

Another issue is that the menu item did not appear after package 
installation but only after device reboot. Am I supposed to refresh the 
menu in some postinstall script? If yes, how?

Frantisek

BTW the new system is really a big improvement, thanks for the hard work :-)
