I was trying to create a desktop shortcut for a dos game (adom) running in qemu with the different solutions here but no luck. Finally I used the desktop file for htop as a sample and it worked perfectly with these two lines:
Code:
Exec=osso-term -e adom
Terminal=true

hey guys can this be done on a desktop shortcut ?
Code:
if [ "$QBW_EXEC_REASON" == "QBW_STARTUP_UPDATE" ]; then
# add here switch on instructions
gconftool-2 -s /system/osso/dsm/display/display_brightness -t int 2
echo "Level 2";
exit 1;
fi;
if [ "$QBW_CURRENT_RESULTS_TEXT" == "Level 2" ]; then
# add here switch off instructions
gconftool-2 -s /system/osso/dsm/display/display_brightness -t int 5
echo "Level 5";
exit 0;
else
# add here switch on instructions
gconftool-2 -s /system/osso/dsm/display/display_brightness -t int 2
echo "Level 2";
exit 1;
fi;
and save it as .py am doing this because many qbw on my desktop and i want to make them less, so i can easily from the menu.

Hi moudy91,
create a shellscript /home/user/change_brightness.sh
Code:
#!/bin/sh
B=$(gconftool-2 -g /system/osso/dsm/display/display_brightness)
if [ $B == 1 ]; then
  gconftool-2 -s /system/osso/dsm/display/display_brightness -t int 5
fi
if [ $B == 5 ]; then
  gconftool-2 -s /system/osso/dsm/display/display_brightness -t int 1
fi
Create a .desktop file (/usr/share/applications/hildon/change_brightness.desktop)
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0.0	
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Brightness
Exec=sh /home/user/change_brightness.sh
Icon=general_brightness
Type=Application
X-App-Loading-Image=none
Now you can add a shortcut for this "Brightness-App" on you desktop.

what happens if you execute the script "by hand"?
In xterm enter:
sh /home/user/change_brightness.sh

I just tested the script from my first post again.
It is working.
Be sure you don't use DOS end-of-line characters.
