/usr/share/applications/hildon/mobilehotspot.desktop seems to be just link to /opt/mobilehotspot/resources/mobilehotspot.desktop.
This might be worth trying:

Code:
cp /opt/mobilehotspot/resources/mobilehotspot.desktop /usr/share/applications/hildon/mobilehotspot.desktop

there is something weird with desktop shortcuts and MHS, some have edited the .desktop file, if you find a change that makes it work: send me a patch

/opt/mobilehotspot/resources/mobilehotspot.desktop
When I installed the Mobilehotspot application, the mobilehotspot.desktop file it created in
/usr/share/applications/hildon/
was a softlink to the actual mobilehotspot.desktop file located in
/opt/mobilehotspot/resources/
This setup did not allow me to add it as a shortcut to the desktop, so I fixed this by following the steps I provided. I never had to edit mobilehotspot.desktop file.

I simply created a mobilehotspot.desktop file with leafpad then pasted the proper content in, deleted the softlink in /usr/share/applications/hildon/ and moved my created mobilehotspot.desktop file there.
Voila program listed in shortcut menu

(and then you can start trolling for votes so that it will end up in extras-proper as fast as possible).

By the way, I've confirmed that 0.3.4 fixes this issue.
Now, if I could determine why mobilehotspot is no longer allowing me to share my T-Mobile USA data connection after upgrading to kernel power 45.
Can anyone out there confirm this is working?
my shortcut to Mobile Hotspot missing from desktop but still in application category. how can shortcut work?
thanks.
