[maemo-developers] How to create an icon on desktop on N900 and link my binary to that

[From: Fred Lefévère-Laoide]

I thought the DBus initialization was used to allow only one intsnace of 
your program to be run, which is good on a handheld device ...

I think you should let the user decide if he wants to put a shortcut on 
his desktop or not ?
