I've installed the Launcher plugin in my xbmc running on Ubuntu 8.04. The biggest stumbling block was realizing that the Launcher subdirectory must be placed in ~/.xbmc/plugins/programs instead of in /usr/share/xbmc/plugins/programs. That's how it finally showed up for me in Games->Applications of the MC360 skin if anyone is curious.
Anyway... I'm running xbmc in fullscreen mode with gdm turned off as outlined in a previous post. I have Launcher configured to run two applications: firefox and gnome-terminal, both of which run correctly in a window in front of my fullscreened xbmc. Problem is, I lose the mouse cursor completely and the keyboard is still bound to xbmc. Any clues how I can change the input focus into the launched applications? If I could do that my last issue would be solved.
