[maemo-developers] .desktop file

[From: Matan Ziv-Av]

Hello,

I know this question was asked (and answered) a lot of time before, but 
still:

I have a python program in /usr/bin/dbus-scripts-settings. When run from 
the command line, the program runs, but does not appear in the task 
lisk. When selected from menu, launch feedback appears in top right 
corner, but the program does not run. The program appears in the menu 
correctly with its own icon, not the default one.

What is the reason, and how should it be solved?


Pertinent information:
