hey thanks for the reply..but i did change that detail..but i dunt think that wud matter as (in my knowledge,i may be not completely right) the name (Name=tabcgpa) is just the name in the title window

can i have gone wrong on any other parameter
i trued wud terminal false and true,.. both din work

It worked finally
i moved my executable to /usr/bin/
then gave permissions as
Code:
chmod u+x
then changed my .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/hildon/
to this basic .desktop file i found in an helloworld example
so now the .desktop file is as
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Name=tabcgpa
Exec=/usr/bin/tabcgpa
Icon=tabcgpa

Hi,

I can see here that you removed the following line:
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

According to this http://wiki.maemo.org/Desktop_file_format : "if specified hildon desktop will try to call the top_application method on this service rather than execute what is listed in the Exec field"
So my guess is that it would still work if the exec is in your home dir (I don't like copying things to /usr/bin).
So probably this should work:

Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Name=tabcgpa
Exec=/home/user/tabcgpa
Icon=
Btw: I don't think you should specify anything for the icon, I don't believe you have an icon present called 'tabcgpa", so this can be left empty (then the default icon is chosen for sure). Would be nice if you could try this out :-)
But still thanks for the info.

Why don't you just run it in one command without changing directory first? Like this "/home/user/N900-BluetoothMouseSupport/xsetroot -cursor_name arrow".
