 Dear Rhn,
 
 I don't know what's wrong, but let me suggest that you do not
 unconditionally opkg update  opkg update when you're on an unstable
 distribution. In contrast to Debian, where millions of eyes are looking,
 an Openmoko unstable distribution is _really_ unstable.
 
 I suggest individually updating packages if you think there's
 interesting fixes for you.
 
 Sorry I can't be of more help.
 
 Mickey.

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
I think I just got used to flawless updates of the testing branch until now.
From my personal point of view, updating only selected packages isn't exactly 
the right thing to do because of the dependencies that exist but are not 
described in the package (most notably GNOME being packed that way on my 
testing desktop distro).

The other reason I wrote this post was to inform the package maintainers that 
something went wrong and the Home app doesn't see the .desktop files or 
something during the update destroyed them.

Cheers
rhn

You have to change: Application to Applications (note the s at the
end) in your .desktop files. That should make them visible again.
