The pithy ruminations from Andrew Daviel on
<launching scripts/apps from desktop icons> were:
=>
=> On my desktop I don't have much time for the GUI; I find it much easier
[AOL]
Me too.
[/AOL]
=> to type "ls -lt foo*" than wait for some app to paint 2000 icons I'm
=> supposed to choose from. But I have a few Gnome toolbar icons I have
=> tied to commands like
=> xterm -e "ssh -i foo [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
=> using "create launcher".
=>
=> Is it possible to do this in maemo/Hildon on the Nokia tablets ?
Yes.
I'm a huge fan of the Command Navigator app. It replaces the
silly Contacts taskbar app, and can be configured to launch arbitrary command
line programs via a menu.

=> One page I looked at seemed to be saying applications needed to be
=> rewritten to use the hildon manager, which seems a lot of effort just to
=> get a launcher button.
=>
=> Apart from wanting to have a button to do scripts like the above, I was
=> trying to run example_camera (from
=> garage.maemo.org/svn/maemoexamples/trunk/) from a button. Works from the
=> command line; doesn't start properly from a button (or maybe I just
=> haven't got the files set up properly)
=>
=> Andrew
