[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] starting python application without buildingpackage

[From: Jakub.Pavelek at nokia.com]

Hi,
 
you do not need to have the service file for such simple testing. Just
make sure to point the Exec to the application and then set the
StartupWMClass to the window name (helps to keep it alive).
 
Posting the full contents of the .desktop file also helps finding the
problem;)

	Hallo erverybody,
	
	i would like to try my application on the device without
building a package.
	
	So i create a .desktop file with
	
	EXEC=/home/user/Python/timetracker.py
	
	an a .service file with the same link.
	
	By clicking the entry in the navigationbar i get a info banner
with...timetracker will be load... but nothing more.
	
	1. Is there a mistake in the EXEC command?
	
	2. In xterm i use the run-standalone command to start the
application in front of the theme. Is it possible to use this command in
the .desktop file?
	
	br
	Mathias
