This may be outside the scope of this launcher, but is there any plan (or current functionality) for auto-launch of apps when XBMC boots? This would be great for the whole 'booting to XBMC as shell" effort

now you can define a folder that holds thumbnails of the launchers and roms.
default is : Q:\userdata\plugin_data\programs\Launcher\thumbs
you can put a files named like the launcher's or rom's name or filename with an extension of "png", "jpg" or "gif" and it will be the thumbnail of this launcher/rom.
for example: if your launcher called "MAME" and it launches "d:\games\Mame\ZetaMAME32\ZetaMAME32en.exe" you can put an image named:
"MAME.jpg" or "ZetaMAME32en.jpg" in Q:\userdata\plugin_data\programs\Launcher\thumbs, and it will be the thumbnail of the launcher.
have fun!

Stilll does not seem to be working on my Vista 32bit machine. It crashes xbmc every time I try to add a program. I will let you know how linux goes later today. Cheers and thanks for all the hard work.

I noticed when I tried setting a launcher when there in no \XBMC\userdata\plugin_data\programs\launcher\launchers.xml already existing, it fails.
