How to install javascript apps?

I am trying to package a big javascript game (2MB data) and wonder how to launch it.

A desktop file in /usr/share/applications/hildon in which a browser with the file-URL is started somewhat works:

[Desktop Entry]
Categories=user/games
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=skattrainer
Icon=skattrainer
Exec=/usr/bin/browser --url=file:///opt/skattrainer/index.html

However, after exiting the browser the process remains and after multiple invocations the browser freezes. How to launch the browser properly from a desktop file?

Alternatively, I could also just use a bookmark.
So there the question is how to add one automatically when the package is installed?

Thanks for any pointers.

How about do it the way they do for the ovi store? I'll paste in the .desktop file for it in case you don't have a physical N900 on hand:

Code:

/usr/share/applications/hildon $ cat ovi.desktop 

[Desktop Entry]

Encoding=UTF-8

Version=1.0

Name=tana_ap_ovi_store

Comment=Open Ovi store in new window

Exec=dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.osso_browser /com/nokia/osso_browser/request com.nokia.osso_browser.open_new_window string:http://link.ovi.mobi/n900ovistore

Icon=general_ovi_store

Terminal=false

Type=Application

Categories=System;TerminalEmulator;

X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true

#X-Osso-Service=xterm

X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

PS: In the future, please don't double post. :|
