Thank you very much for this.

dbus-send /com/nokia/hildon_desktop com.nokia.hildon_desktop.exit_app_view
^^ This does exactly what I want.

Unfortunately, I was hoping integrating it into systemui.xml would be more obvious.

I tried adding the following (modified from the xterm top example), but it does nothing, so I obviously don't understand how the calls are made:

Code:
 <menuitem priority="800" name="Dashboard">
  <callback service="com.nokia.hildon_desktop.exit_app_view" path="/com/nokia/hildon_desktop/exit_app_view" interface="com.nokia.hildon_desktop.exit_app_view" method="exit_app_view" bus="session" autostart="true">
  </callback>
 </menuitem>
Anyone know how I can integrate that call into systemui.xml (properly, so it actually works)?

I thought about copying the top in xterm example and changing top to the command line from the wiki, but I'd like to understand the correct way to do this (and launching an xterm for this seems like massive overkill).
A pointer to a doc that explains how to navigate the dbus hierarchy would be appreciated.

Edit: Is there a log file I can parse for errors? Nothing shows up in dmesg.

Well... I've been digging (and digging and digging) through threads and wikis and I still haven't found anything close to what I'm looking for.

When I search for systemui.xml syntax, I find threads on adding a reboot menu option to the power button menu (by simply uncommenting what's already in the XML).
When I search for d-bus documentation, I find lots on using it for triggers, some on issuing commands via shell command-line, but nothing relevant to the syntax used in systemui.xml.

Does anyone know of documentation on the syntax used in systemui.xml?
I've tried variations on what I posted above... all show a button, none work.

Well, I think I'm giving up on this one... I haven't found a reasonable way to accomplish what I'm trying to do (and I have to pick my battles with limited time these days).

As an alternative, I've installed shortcutd and am using the camera button for bringing up the dashboard. It's a lot more sensitive than I'd like, but at least it solves the problem.

If I stumble over the info I need, I'll update this thread with the new code I come up with.

This is cool however how can I run a script without it bringing up an xterm? I have copied the entry for panucci and altered it as such:

Code:
  <menuitem priority="3" name="Panucci">
    <icon>panucci</icon>
    <callback service="com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr" 
      path="/com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr" 
      interface="com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr" 
      method="LaunchApplication" bus="session" 
      autostart="true">
      <argument type="string">(path to my script)</argument>
    </callback>
  </menuitem>
However it brings up an xterm when the script runs!

How can I have an entry that does not bring up an xterm?

p.s. my script is simply a command to un/mount swap from my SD card so it can be removed for some reason.

Instead of using (path to my script) create a .desktop file to call your script and place it under /usr/share/applications/hildon

Something like this:

Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Name=Soft Restart
Exec=path_to_myscript
Icon=softrestart
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=false
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
Then call the .desktop from the .xml just by introducing its name (without the .desktop extension)
