You need to create a .desktop file and put it in one of the locations listed in $XDG_DATA_DIRS. Here is more info on the standard:
Creating a .desktop file: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ Moblin customizations: http://v1.moblin.org/toolkits/basicDevGuides/UIComp/toolkits_DevGds_UIComp_homeScreen.php Notes, caveats, etc: 1. I haven't tested whether these standards apply to moblin 2.0 builds. 2. If your platform doesn't define XDG_DATA_DIRS, try looking in /usr/share/applications/hildon. /usr/share/applications is the default, but some OSes don't do it correctly. 3. If you are running Midinux, you will probably need to add an addition line to your .desktop file: Submenu=x where x is the number corresponding to the submenu you wish your shortcut to appear in.
