Is there a way in Fremantle to programmatically change the view from application view directly to the desktop home view (perhaps similar to the com.nokia.hildon_desktop.exit_app_view dbus signal)?
The specific use is for a standalone application that is launched (or brought to the foreground if it is already running) by a hildon-status-menu plugin. When the application is done with user interaction, it should continue running but "minimize" itself so that the desktop will be shown (as it was before the application was activated). Using the exit_app_view signal causes the task navigator view to show where the initial desktop view is still one click away on the blurred area. Of course it would be possible to have the application windows be part of and shown by the plugin itself. But it seems cleaner to have application logic in a separate process and keep the status plugin just doing status icon indication and providing a launch button. Given that if there isn't a "good" way to do this, then it might not be fixed in the Fremantle lifetime - is there an ugly way to show the desktop? like simulating pressing the right place on the screen, somehow getting into non-public API of hildon-desktop, or something else?
