Thanks for your comments Rodrigo! No, my description in the wiki page (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UMEGuide/ApplicationDevelopment/AnatomyOfUMEPythonApplication) of where to put an application's files does not represent a new standard/requirement for UME. The wiki page describes the way I got it to work. When you do it this way, the app displays in the UME Applications > Extras menu. (It would be great if a UME person could also take a look at the wiki page and comment on my approach.) One slight correction to what your email said: " in your tutorial you install everything into /usr/share/<app name>, so is this a new standard for ume and one we should adapt to?" Actually, the wiki says to put the python file there but to put the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications, which I found (by trial and error) works as described above. The link you gave (http://maemo.org/community/wiki/HildonDesktopPluginHowto) is good stuff, and obviously getting a Python IDE going is great! However, I'm not sure whether it applies directly to what I want to accomplish. --I'd like to write a home plugin in Python that displays by default in the home area at startup. --I'd like to know exactly what the .desktop file should look like (the example in the link you provided shows a desktop file for a C plugin) --And, I'd like to know exactly where the files should go (the python file and the .desktop file) in UME --Mostly, I want to be able to explain precisely what a developer needs to know to get this done, so any help with these details will be greatly appreciated! I've tried putting the python file in /usr/lib/hildon-desktop and putting the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/hildon-home, but that doesn't seem to work. Perhaps my .desktop file is wrong. I've tried using Type=default, Type=python and various permutations of X-Path and Exec (with a shell command to call python and pas it the.py file) to no avail.
