Linking in with FOSS Alternatives thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90862 and http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...5&postcount=23

I would like to post up a workaround to make D-Bus and default icons call the application of your choice. Useful for those applications with widgets etc.
This was requested and I felt it was better in it's own thread.

PLEASE SEE CAVEAT

ALSO SEE UPDATE FOR --background in Qalendar

Below requires root

>Replace MP for OMP
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nokia.mediaplayer.service

Replace
Code:
Exec=/usr/bin/mediaplayer
for
Code:
Exec=/usr/bin/openmediaplayer
>Replace osso-filermanager for hamsterfiler
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nokia.osso-filemanager.service

Replace
Code:
Exec=/usr/bin/osso-filemanager
for
Code:
Exec=/usr/bin/hamsterfiler
>Replace Calender for qalendar
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nokia.calendar.service

Replace
Code:
Exec=/usr/bin/Calendar
for
Code:
Exec=/usr/bin/qalendar --background
This could work on a range of applications for example

>Replace Browser (without installing browser-switchboard)
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nokia.browser.service

Replace for /usr/bin/"foo" (browser of choice)
