I believe I have it implemented the way you are describing. The home plugin puts up the banner prior to execing the app, then listens for notifcation from the hd-wm for either a "entry_info_added" signal or "entry_info_stack_change" which get fired when the application gets displayed, at which point the banner gets torn down. The banner that you are describing in calc and notepad are different and I think they are controlled by the "StartupNotify" (true/false) setting in the desktop file (not sure about this). They seem fairly useless as the app is running already. > > >> >> I need to generalize all of my changes to the home plugin (as there >> are some customer specific things that wouldn't be appropriate to >> moblin) and then I plan to send you guys a patch for possible >> inclusion.

I git cloned mobile-basic- flash and commited my changes locally.
