tuliobaars, it seems to me that you have d-bus broken on your tablet...

angun33, i've installed launcher 0.1.1 and it works well for me. Mauku and fheroes icons are now displayed. Osso games are starting ok. The only app i found not starting is BlueMaemo. It has this crap in its desktop file:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Name=BlueMaemo
Exec=sudo /usr/bin/bluemaemo
Icon=bluemaemo
MimeType=application/x-example;

Note the ‘sudo’. Not sure how to run that.
Btw, it seems that you are starting apps as child processes of launcher process. I think it is not good idea. If the launcher will be terminated for some reason, applications started from it will be terminated too and user may loss some data. I think there might be some proper (may be maemo-specific) way to start applications.
