I want to add Midnight Commander entry launched as root without second xterm window. Is it possible?

Okay. .desktop file changed to Exec=osso-xterm 'sudo mc'
and systemui.xml changed to
<menuitem priority="5" name="MC">
<callback service="com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr" path="/com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr" interface="com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr" method="LaunchApplication"
bus="session" autostart="true">
<argument type="string">mc</argument>
</callback>
</menuitem>
Working like a charm.

^^ This does exactly what I want.

Unfortunately, I was hoping integrating it into systemui.xml would be more obvious.

I tried adding the following (modified from the xterm top example), but it does nothing, so I obviously don't understand how the calls are made:
Code:
 <menuitem priority="800" name="Dashboard">
  <callback service="com.nokia.hildon_desktop.exit_app_view" path="/com/nokia/hildon_desktop/exit_app_view" interface="com.nokia.hildon_desktop.exit_app_view" method="exit_app_view" bus="session" autostart="true">
  </callback>
 </menuitem>
Anyone know how I can integrate that call into systemui.xml (properly, so it actually works)?

I thought about copying the top in xterm example and changing top to the command line from the wiki, but I'd like to understand the correct way to do this (and launching an xterm for this seems like massive overkill).
A pointer to a doc that explains how to navigate the dbus hierarchy would be appreciated.

Edit: Is there a log file I can parse for errors? Nothing shows up in dmesg.

Not sure if you figured this out or not, but i wanted to do the same. I got it to work, however it only works when an application is open and is also in landscape mode. However, it is still useful if using an app in fullscreen mode such as opera, sygic maps, nokia maps, etc.

The key is that the the message is a signal and not a method.

Code:

<menuitem priority="100" name="Dashboard">
  <callback
        path="/com/nokia/hildon_desktop"
        interface="com.nokia.hildon_desktop"
        signal="exit_app_view" bus="session"
        autostart="true">
  </callback>
</menuitem>

Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work please?

Code:

<menuitem priority="3" name="Top">                             
   <callback service="com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr"
   path="/com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr"                                       
   interface="com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr"     
   method="LaunchApplication" bus="session"                                  
   autostart="true">                                           
   <argument type="string">top</argument>             
   </callback>                         
 </menuitem>

Pleasy please...

Doesn't do anything (menu item is there).
Other method (bringing up two x-terms ) works ok though..

Maybe I need to create a top.desktop item in order to use this method?

Ok, created top.desktop :-

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Name=Top
Exec=osso-xterm 'sudo top'
#Icon=softrestart
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=false
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

This works ok, I just wanted a solution that didn't create an "Item" in the "Desktop Application" list (or whatever the proper name is).
Is this possible?

I am not using plain top, but using HTOP

Code:

<menuitem priority="200" name="htop">
  <po>htop</po>
  <icon>htop</icon>
  <callback service="com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr"
        path="/com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr"
        interface="com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr"
        method="LaunchApplication" bus="session"
        autostart="true">
        <argument type="string">htop</argument>
  </callback>
</menuitem>

The .desktop file for htop is:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Htop
Type=Application
Comment=Show System Processes
Terminal=true
Exec=htop --xterm
Icon=htop
Categories=ConsoleOnly;System;
GenericName=Process Viewer
