Luxus Light Meter v0.2 for N900, as a real homescreen widget

The Qt Labs post in question was: http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2010/02/24/qt-for-maemo-5-home-screen-widgets/

My previous blog post about Luxus:  http://www.tuug.fi/~toni/serendipity/index.php?/archives/12-Luxus-light-meter-desktop-widget-for-N900.html

As my application already had the X-Atom things as demonstrated by Qt Software's previous instructions, I did not need to use the new adaptor class they introduced with this qt4-maemo5-homescreen-example app. All I really needed were:

1. Add a dependency to qt4-maemo5-homescreen-loader in my binary package (debian/control)
2. Tune my .desktop file to change Type to qt
3. Change my installation destination paths so that the binary goes to /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/
4. ..and the desktop file goes to /usr/share/applications/hildon-home/     

That was it! By magic, the rest happened by itself thanks to the Qt Software stuff. Now Luxus is installable from Desktop menu->Add Widget. 

Of course I didn't stop there, I also did some visual improvements and bug fixes. One more bug remains to be fixed and that is the displaying of a frivolously small negative number in the EV mode, when the lighting is sufficiently dark. Soon I will also implement the feature additions suggested here previously - and promoting to extras-testing will happen as soon as the situation with the Qt 4.6 packages in Maemo is resolved.
