Hi,

I can see here that you removed the following line:
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

According to this http://wiki.maemo.org/Desktop_file_format : "if specified hildon desktop will try to call the top_application method on this service rather than execute what is listed in the Exec field"
So my guess is that it would still work if the exec is in your home dir (I don't like copying things to /usr/bin).
So probably this should work:

Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Name=tabcgpa
Exec=/home/user/tabcgpa
Icon=
Btw: I don't think you should specify anything for the icon, I don't believe you have an icon present called 'tabcgpa", so this can be left empty (then the default icon is chosen for sure). Would be nice if you could try this out :-)
But still thanks for the info.
