[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Icon to task navigator... again

Hi

I'm not sure if this was briefly discussed in a while ago, but
I just can not find anything much related to it

I have 2 programs that has pretty much identical .desktop files,
but one launched from TN (or using run-standalone.sh) gets
an icon shown on TN after launched but the other doesn't.

So, if I iconify the second program there is no way to bring
the GUI window back to the screen.

Needless to say I've now spent 3 hours trying all kinds of tricks
to get it working, but no go (guess how log period is is constantly
deinstalling, copying new version, installing and rebooting the machine...)

Latest configuration is:

I dropped program.service file and removed X-Osso-Service=prog from
.desktop file

There is file called usr/share/applications/hildon/bar.foo.prog.desktop.

symlink to that is located at etc/others-menu/extra_applications/1229_progname.desktop

(note: prog != progname, but I think I've tried with same string
there... can not remember, tried so many cobbinations... I just tried by
renaming that symlink to match -- no help... as expected)

latest content of the desktop file:

[Desktop Entry] 
Encoding=UTF-8 
Version=1.0 
Type=Application 
Name=Cool Program
Exec=/var/lib/install/usr/lib/progdir/prog.sh
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
Icon=qgn_list_home


---

So, I have icon to launch the program in extras menu, but no icon when
the program is running is shown at the lower part of TN in the left.

How does TN handle putting the icon to TN so it can be used to
choose/deiconify the window.

Any help, please. I'm feeling pretty desperate (and stupid ???)
