1) I have successfully created a deb from a tree containing a binary applicaiton. When I run the application, no icon appears in the lower left menu bar (showing the applications that are running). What does one need to get the icon for the app to show up in the "task bar"?
2) this application is not GTK based (it is Nedit, a powerful GUI editor), could this be my problem with the icon not showing up in the "task bar"?

1) You need to add your icon to /usr/share/pixmaps/youricon.png and declare it in the /usr/share/applications/hildon/nedit.desktop take a look at the pypackager desktop file in /usr/share/applications/hildon/pypackager.desktop

1) see 2 :-)
2) I got this information on the maemo developers list a few days ago (and have since fixed MClock, but not yet uploaded...): Your problem is "that the WM_CLASS provided by your application window and the one specified in its .desktop file do not match. Therefore Maemo Task Navigator cannot match what was started from the menu and the window the application opened. [...]
Gtk sets WM_CLASS automatically to the application (binary) name, so this is usually only a problem for non-Gtk apps, e.g. SDL games."
Therefore, just make sure to set the X11 WM_CLASS inside your application to the same value that you wrote into yourapp.desktop file.

PyPackager has just been updated to version 0.4 ...
"
BUT: if you're already mentioning that icon... Could you add a feature to PyPackager that would automatically take this icon (or let me manually select an icon), then encode it in the debian package? This way, PyPackaged debs could have their proper icon instead of the default one "
You can do it now ...

2) I don't think it 's a problem.
