@Dina: On clicking the app in the apploader, I see a clock symbol (like it is starting the app).... But nothing is on the desktop.... I checked the task manager and the app is not listed there either!

I will try the new version when i get back home... hope it works!

Hey apps that we start using start menu don't appear in the TaskManager. Is this happening only 2 me or has anybody else noted this?

Could someone post some more examples of how to modify the .conf file so that we can see all the java and .pkg applications we've installed? It isn't at all clear to me how to incorporate all my other applications and it would be so useful to do so.

Also, is it possible to translate the Chinese at the top of the menu bar?

I am a regular visitor to the forum for last one year.
This site has allowed us to exploit the true potential of Ming.
This his undoubtely one of the best programme for the Ming.
Great Job.

Use the latest version (from first post) - it is now all in English.

Here is my file with my mods in blue. The words I had to change for a java app are in bold. The line for a PKG app is the second bold.

Note: The png file is the icon it will show to left of app in the menu.

Can anyone explain to me what does the "&" sign stands for? What does it do?

As far as i know it tells bash (the terminal) to open a new line after executing the one that have &.
Ex.: "../qeiLock/qeilock" if you type this on the terminal it will hide the next line and you cant type in more commands, but if you use "../qeiLock/qeilock &" it will allow you to keep casting commands line after line

Awesome...this app is simply awesome but a few questions on the app.

When I go to System, the sub-menu lists the following - Dspace, Jhacker, SysInfo, Ekonsole, Restart & ShutDown. Now I don't have Jhacker installed in my A1200 handset but when I tap Jhacker, it starts & asks me the question. Same is the case with Dspace but when I tap SysInfo, nothing happens. Similarly when I tap Scientific Calc (under JavaApps) or VistaClock (under Utility), nothing happens.

Do such apps need to be installed explicitly? The reason I am asking this is because, as already said, I don't have Dspace & Jhacker installed but both of them still run; so why don't the other apps run?

Also what does Lock Desktop do? The icons on the desktop anyway cannot be moved; so what's the use of Lock Desktop?
