Nope.. I run XBMC without a WM.. How do you guys start XBMC without the window manager? I do it with "xinit xbmc.bin" (but then more elaborate in a script ofcourse). When I start xbmc within Gnome and windowed, the launcher and script work...

No, I didn't try it... (it's configured to shutdown XBMC only)

I am new user to xbmc. First thanks for the plugin, i was able to launch a exe, but i couldnot add anymore application. I read that you mentioned to use context-menu -> Add new Launcher, but if I right click on my mouse everthing goes away and the main menu shows up. am i doing something wrong
thanks

When using the Launcher with xbmc in full screen to start ZSNES on Vista I get an error from ZSNES (setcooperativelevel failed). ZSNES starts fine on its own and indeed works fine when xbmc is windowed.
Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try to fix it? I played with autoit to try and minimise xbmc first with no real luck.

I must be missing something here. I'm running ubuntu 8.04 with beta 2 of xbmc. It's my first linux install so i may be doing something wacky but here's what I did.
I installed the plugin, tried to configure it, and it wouldn't let me browse anywhere outside my Home folder. So, I downloaded a copy of firefox for linux and put it in a folder called XBMC Apps in my home folder. I launched it to make sure it works by double clicking on the "firefox" file, not the firefox-bin file. I made sure it would run, then went into xbmc, configured it to launch that file, with no arguments. Now, when i try to run it via the plugin in xbmc, a dialog pops up for a split second that says "Launcher" in the top left, with a cancel button, and it dissappears after maybe a 50th of a second, and thats it.
Am I missing something obvious here?
