[edit] Main Application Set

(Someone give me a better word for this--I'm mangling the description).

When you hit the button in the upper left corner twice you get a bunch of icons to launch applications. Odds are that this is not the exact set you wanted. Mine currently looks like this:

Custom application set
Custom application set


The default set is like this:

Default application set
Default application set


To customize your icon set, edit this file: 

/etc/xdg/menus/hildon.menu

Then add the .desktop files for the applications you want, and remove (or comment out with <!-- foo -->) applications you don't want. See this directory to find out the name of your .desktop file: /usr/share/applications/hildon

Here is my hildon.menu file, as an example: 

<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN"
