Hello Faheem, thank you so much for your detailed "manual" :)
I got xprop from here: deb http://austinche.name/maemo/ bora/ But libxmuu1 is required for the xprop installation, so I got libxmuu1 from here: deb http://repository.maemo.org/ chinook free non-free Now I started xprop via SSH and the StartupWMClass is "sun-awt-X11-XFramePeer" and I wrote this file: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=1.0 Type=Application Name=SmartHome GUI Exec=/home/user/run.sh StartupWMClass=sun-awt-X11-XFramePeer When I start my application than I have my application in the tast/window switcher :) I ask me why a simple desktop file, which is only a shortcut in my eyes, brings my application into the task/window switcher although I DO NOT start my applicaton by clicking on the shortcut... I start my application by hand in the terminal and it is also in the task/window switcher :D Can you explain this "feature", please :) ?
