I think Lucius may be referring to something I have seen since 1.5 came out. Namely that the 'all appliications' list under settings- >applications will often show the app name with a generic icon in the list (it even does it for built in apps). If you drill into the app the icon is there, and when you hit the back key the previous list has miraculously got some more icons to display.
Alternatively, he might just want to know how to launch his app, (assuming all intents are correct)... Lucius. You don't launch your app from 'Settings->Applications'. When installed it will appear automatically on the normal app tab down the bottom of your screen.
