1. Open the app link on the desktop in an editor, like gedit or kate.
2. Open your menu editor, gnome or kde.
3. Copy the pertinent information from the app link to the menu editor, the name, the run command, and icon.
4. Save your new menu and test it.

If you create your own Prism app (as opposed to using one of the pre-built Google apps in the repository), is there a way to have the Prism app appear in the Ubuntu’s Applications menu?

I have two issues with Ubuntu – Prism:

1) It doesn’t remember username and password.
2) It uses the same cookies for all Prism-Applications.

Compared to the Windows version (which is technically the official from Mozilla):
a) Prism can remember username and password.
b) Prism uses different cookies for each Prism-Applications.

And I do not know who’s handling Ubuntu – Prism so I can report those :p

Other than that, great job.

concerning the FF-extension-bug: the problem here is, that ubufox doesn’t accept the –app parameter, which prism uses. the original xulrunner does. So to fix the problem, simply open the webapp’s preferences (“eigenschaften” in german) and change the /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3/firefox at the beginning to /usr/bin/xulrunner and it should work the next time, you start it. (make sure you don’t touch anything behind the –app flag)

[...] Prism blurs the line between web and desktop applications, and packages are already available which bring common web apps to the desktop with Prism. Will we see apps like Google Docs in the application menu via Prism in Ubuntu 9.04? Those [...]

I have been using prism since last fall. I am really hooked on it. I love it for the google apps as well as others like pandora and my installation of Tracks (http://www.rousette.org.uk/). I am also excited about version 0.9 and its intergration with firefox3. I have been having trouble with 0.9 since it call out. I works okay on Windoze, but the ubuntu has some bugs (at least in my install). I noticed that the packaged webapps for Gdocs, Gmail, etc, are 0.8 with and svn customization attached. Any word on when the prism in the repo will be going 0.9? The big bug I have is with the FF extension. I click the menu to create a webapp from the current site and it installs it to the desktop. When I click on it, I just opens FF at my home page… I still create webapps with the 0.8 engine installed from the repo at least…

I’ve tried Prism Google Mail, but ads are appearing. Is there a CustomizeGoogle equivalent for Prism? I can’t use it with ads.
