I have a similar desktop file in my application and it shows up in the
menu. But I can't place a shortcut/link on the active screen. I would
like to do it during installation. Also my icon does not show up
properly. The code is available on http://confmgr.garage.maemo.org/.
Would be great if someone can point me in the right direction.
