my aim is to run this application as a desktop widget.

if i run my application with the .desktop file i put in
/usr/share/applications/hildon
it works.
but if i put the same .desktop file in
/usr/share/applications/hildon-home
nothing happens if i try to run it from the n900 add widget menu.

i get exactly the same behavior with the "qt-example-hildondesktopwidget"
(i put the .desktop file from /usr/share/applications/hildon
to /usr/share/applications/hildon-home)

i hope you can help me.
thanks
have the same issue with my QT app, batlevel.
Seems like the .desktop file needs either a .so library file or a shell script to run. One way would be to create a GTK app and call your QT code.
But I cant be sure about this, still trying to find out.
Just wanted to let you know that if failed for me as well.
