Ok Qole, I can confirm that lxlauncher works great from within LXDE, but throws a 'Segmentation fault' if attempted from within chroot in Hildon. Just 2 issues:

1)If you run it from a terminal, every app you start with lxlauncher will close if you close the terminal.

2)If you run it from the 'run' dialog, there's no way to close it without logging out or running xkill from a terminal.

I still see a use for it on the tablet. Would be great if it would work from chroot. Any ideas on that, or how to autostart it when you launch LXDE?
