Thanks for the reply! Will this be supported in the future? Is there any way I could submit a small patch for this issue? (i.e. Market should call the MAIN activity of a package regardless of whether it has category LAUNCHER or not, or at least if it has DEFAULT category - OR - don't show the launch button). Unfortunately, the Market app itself does not seem to be open source.
