After you installed the applet, you need to open home application menu, click on 'Select applets...', click on checkbox next to 'Simple Launcher', and press 'OK'. You will be put into 'Edit Layout' mode where you can select the location and the size of the applet. After you are happy with with the settings, click on green checkbox button at the top right corner. Now you can configure the applet: open the menu, select 'Applet settings', and choose 'Launcher settings...'. In the dialog you should now see, you can select the applications you want to use as well as order them according to your preferences. When you are done, press 'OK'.
Known limitations:
there's no infobanner when the application is started
the application is not brought up in front, if it's already started
if the application does not support d-bus activation, you cannot select it (this will be fixed soon)

Oh, I'm so diggin' this. Good work Misha!
Now if I can only open multiple, editable instances of the web launcher we could have a home screen with one tap, simple access to everything...
Making it transparent vis a vie the weather app in my above screen shot. would require a bunch more duplicate code I would think. Perhaps it should (and eventually will)be an option across the whole enviroment via display settings or some such.
