actually not illume's code - its /etc/xdg/meuns/applications.menu that defines
what to show. standard XDG menu stuff. same as your desktop linux distro.

But you have to select the right Category (e.g. Games) since Illume shows only 
a few categories in the launcher. I don't know what categories that are.

ah, well that seems more than obvious. Is this in the wiki btw? I'm sure 
I'm not the first with this problem/question.

Simply add a new .desktop file for it to /usr/share/applications. :)

Launching apps in ASU

2008-07-21 Thread Kalle Happonen
Hello,
I just flashed to ASU (again, it's fun to play around :) ). I installed 
the vte terminal with opkg, and it installed nicely. Now I wonder how I 
can add it to the launcher, or how I can launch it at all? I can 
ofcourse do it with X forwarding over ssh, but that kind of misses the 
whole point :). If I'm not completely mistaken, the settings are in a 
sqlite database, and even if I do like fiddling, I wondered if there 
would be an easier way than playing with sqlite.

Cheers,
Kalle
