  Sure. To make the .desktop files appear you need to set the

 Never mix feeds.  Period.
 
 Ask someone with OE commit privs to add whatever applications you want
 in the fso-testing feeds to simply add that application's name to
 task-openmoko-feed.bb and it will be automatically built.
 
 If you need a specific application ipk from a different feed, then
 download the ipk and install it manually, using your judgement to
 determine whether it's dependencies are going to screw your system up.
 Take a full backup of your rootfs first.
