@ BEC, @starman

I knw I am straying off a lil bit, but need help on a developmental issue. i am a totally a newbie and not exposed to Linux development:

Objective: I am trying to add a shortcut to N900 desktop that could lock the screen in a single touch. The code is as follows, found it on one of the other forums. I need help on the following questions:

1) Where should I be inputting this code on my device to make it functional.
2) is there an easier code to achieve the same objective.
3) should i be saving 4 separate files once the code is created; to add shortcut to 4 separate screens on my device.

your help in this matter would be highly appreciated...

Ciao

save as lock.desktop to /usr/share/applications/hildon/


This .desktop file "creates" an app in the "more" folder which you can put on the
desktop as a shortcut to lock your N900
