If I understand, you've created a statusbar plugin.  The statusbar has a
feature that allows it to show a 2nd row of icons if the original area
fills up.

The conf.xml file shows the icon for the application.  This is
independent of the statusbar.  If you want your statusbar to appear you
need to do the following:
        - place your statusbar plugin library in
/usr/share/hildon-desktop
        - add an entry to /etc/hildon-desktop/statusbar
        - add a .desktop file in /usr/share/hildon-status-bar
(from memory, excuse mistakes).

Now, if you are talking about something else altogether I apologize for
my misinterpretation.

Subject: How to call a python plugin in UI


Hi,
I have my plugin appearing in the UI marquee. My conf.xml looks like
(look at the last line):

<snip>

<apps>
<app id="2" title="XTerm" desc="X Terminal Emulator"
icon="icons/xterm.png" path="/usr/bin/uxterm -sl 1000 -fa Monospace -fs
10" /> <app id="3" title="Mousepad" desc="Mousepad"
icon="icons/mousepad.png" path="/usr/bin/mousepad" /> <app id="4"
title="Calculator" desc="gcalctool" icon="icons/calc.png"
path="/usr/bin/gcalctool" /> <app id="5" title="Browser" desc="Mobile
Browser" icon="icons/browser.png"
path="/usr/bin/mobile-browser" />
<app id="6" title="Media Player" desc="Mobile Media Player"
icon="icons/media.png"
path="/usr/bin/mobile-player" />
<app id="7" title="TBD Chat" desc="Chat Application"
icon="icons/empathy.png"
path="/usr/bin/empathy" />
<app id="8" title="TBD Camera" desc="Camera App" icon="icons/camera.png"
path="" /> <app id="9" title="Control Panel" desc="Control Panel"
icon="icons/controlpanel.png"
path="/usr/bin/controlpanel" />
<app id="10" title="Location Services" desc="Geographic Information
Framework"
icon="icons/geoclue.png" path="/usr/bin/python
/usr/lib/hildon-desktop/geoclue.py" /> </apps>

</snip>

but this does not execute my plugin. What should the command be for a
python plugin?

As an observation:
This marquee is going to become very long if every application added has
an icon and it will take a long time to scroll for the user to find what
she is looking for
