Code:
sudo gainroot <text editor - leafpad, nano, vi> /etc/systemui/systemui.xml
Code:
<menuitem priority="3" name="Desktop">
<icon>terminal</icon>
<callback service="com.nokia.xterm"
path="/com/nokia/xterm"
interface="com.nokia.xterm" method="run_command"
bus="session" autostart="true">
<argument type="string">dbus-send --type=signal --session /com/nokia/hildon_desktop com.nokia.hildon_desktop.set_state int32:1</argument>
</callback>
</menuitem>
EDIT
Ok so it's added the button to the power key menu after a reboot with the terminal icon, as expected, but failed to run the command - it opened two instances of terminal and one it appeared to run the command in and then close down, but the other one remained..... Will work on it

Hi, sorry for the delay. I ended up having the same issue _Switch is having, and I've been fiddling/busy with other things for a while. If I do figure it out and no one else posts a solution, I will post here when I do.

romiiio, since you have the CSSU, have you considered enabling forced autorotation, thus freeing up long-press camera to do this (or anything else)?
Of course, forced rotation does break a bunch of apps (usability-wise -- I haven't seen any crashes yet, though it's quite possible too), so you may prefer to leave it as it is.
Also, if you're using either manual (with long-press camera or Ctrl+Shift+R) or automatically forced rotation, you can turn off the browser's built-in rotation support (Options > Settings > Enable rotation unchecked); then the browser will keep its standard UI, with the bottom toolbar and top status area, even in portrait mode. It's a little dodgy, since the bookmarks and fullscreen buttons slide off the toolbar into a popup where you can't see the icons, but I like it much better.

... *Facepalm* You know what I tried the day this thread was posted, then decided I was doing something wrong and gave up on? This:
(Hint: "method" instead of "signal" was what I did. No wonder it wasn't working for me.)Code:<menuitem priority="5" name="Desktop"> <callback service="com.nokia.hildon_desktop" path="/com/nokia/hildon_desktop" interface="com.nokia.hildon_desktop" method="set_state" bus="session" autostart="true"> <argument type="int32">1</argument> </callback> </menuitem>
Btw, how did you know what was the correct D-Bus signal to use? I tried to find it using d-feet, but I didn't find it...
