One-click install:
http://mikie.dy.fi/maemo/shortcuts.install

It installs 9 Home-applets, named ShortCut1 -9

each can be configured individually by editing the corresponding config file: /home/user/.shortcutX.conf

the first line is the application/command launched,
and the second line is the name of the imagefile to use.

The shortcuts can be resized to your need, and the image will automagically scale to fit the entire button.
There is no transparency (yet) this is just a quick and dirty hack.
There is no other way to configure the shortcuts, than to edit the config-files in xterm.
Each shortcut has a predefined function and image, which you can use as starting point to tweak the to your preferences.

Screenshot showing scalability of buttons:

Installing.. I'll report back

REPORTING: installed fine. Checked the first shortcut file and noticed calculator was already there.
So I've enabled the first shortcut applet, but it won't appear on the desktop.
None of them does...

Ok now it does not fail. I mean the test you've asked me to do.
It just quits after a second.

But still nothing appears when I select any or all of the shortcut applets.

I appreciate your work but if I may ask, what is difference between simple launcher and this?

That worked, but I think i've discovered another bug.
I only tried it with the Terminal launcher, but when Terminal starts, than the desktop DOES not handle my clicks anymore.
The Web and Task Navigator menus do not appear when clicked.
When I close the Terminal, THEN all the clicks go thru and are handled.
