These don't seem like related questions at all. So I changed the subject and I'll answer the easy one.

Create a .desktop file. Put it in /usr/local/share/applications/<.desktop file> Look in that directory for other exapmles. Point the Exec value to the location of the program on your system.

How does one determine at runtime if an application is running in the moblin desktop environment? Is there an env var that software can query to determine that the desktop (and tools and env) are Moblin/Moblin compliant? Something
similar to GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID?

There currently isn't. Can you explain why you would need such a thing? If it
makes sense, I can see about adding this to uxlaunch....
