Nice screen shot.
Assuming you have a fairly recent drop of UME, new applications (like
your GPS app) should:
1) install a .desktop file into /usr/share/applications
2) install an icon into /usr/share/icons/hicolor/<size>/<type>
(e.g. /usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/mygps.png)
If #1 is done correctly, the app should show up in the UI.
If #1 and #2 are done, it will also have the right icon :)
Hope that helps for what you're trying to do. As for playing MP3's
(from your blog), what errors are you facing? The songs needs to go
into ~/media/audio. MP3's should work fine. Are they showing up in the
UI and not playing, or not showing up at all?
