[maemo-developers] Desktop icons

Hello all.

I'm building my first application for maemo or any debian derivative. I
have barely ever done anything with .desktop files and am at loss at
where to search for more information.

My problem is that when building and installing my application for the
maemo sdk, the icons work as far as I see. I can see the icon in
"program selector/menu", and when removing the application with package
manager.

I installed the cross-compiled package to my device and whilst the icon
shows when removing the application with package manager, the icon does
not show in the menu. I tried with and without maemo-optify-deb and
neither worked (unless I screwed something up)
