Looking forward to the release
That's a bit hackish and dangerous for 'Linux noobs' , for that reason I decide to write a end users app.

*cries*

But to answer your question: yes.
There are two ways:
* Do what the screen calibration applet does, and use an applet that launches a program (http://maemo.gitorious.org/fremantle...r/src/launch.c).
* Or, code your program into an applet directly. The entry point for applets is the "execute" function and libosso doesn't force you to depend on GTK. But you probably will want to get the XID of the Control Panel (available from the user_data pointer) so that you can make your window transient to the Control Panel window. Then again, you don't seem to be displaying a dialog as your "main window" so I guess it's up to you.

Well I have learned a lot today but would prefer installing an app as well!

Not yet, lets see if I've a spare hour to finish it today, only need to make the package and perhaps turn it into a control panel applet.

If you succeed in creating a control panel applet in Qt, I will be very interested!

bootscreen 0.1 is available in Extras-devel.

Features:

Multiples videos on boot;
Random video on boot;

Don't expect fancy graphics . anyone willing to contribute with a app icon please step in.

Didn't had time to look at the control panel applet code, so is a standalone app for now.

Post here any problems/bug/suggestions.

Note: The 'boot player' suffers hiccups with some video encodings and also if you add more than 3 consecutive videos(a bit insane), but these aren't my fault

First of all good work with the app. Really appreciate it.

I seem to run into the exact problem detailed in the application detail - Conflicting packages.

Is there any way around it VDVsx?
