Carl,
The Hildon framework/window manager only knows about desktop files  
in /usr/share/applications. A lot of functions defined in libhildonwm  
will not work if these desktop files are not correct (especially the  
StartupWMClass attribute). Bob Spencer and I have discussed removing  
the desktop files from /usr/share/mobile-basic-flash/applications as  
it's confusing/error prone having desktop files in both places. I  
believe this change will be made moving forward..

Bill
