Option 1. XBMC and Boxee running at the same time:
Code:
<launcher>
<name>Boxee</name>
<application>/usr/bin/sudo</application>
<args>-u angelscry /opt/boxee/run-boxee-desktop</args>
<rompath></rompath>
<thumbpath>/home/angelscry/Téléchargements/</thumbpath>
<fanartpath>/home/angelscry/Téléchargements/</fanartpath>
<romext></romext>
<platform>IBM PC Compatible</platform>

<launcherplot>Boxee (officially trademarked as BOXEE) is a cross-platform freeware HTPC (Home Theater PC) software application with a 10-foot user interface and social networking features designed for the living-room TV. Boxee was originally a fork of the free and open source XBMC media center software which Boxee now uses as an application framework for its GUI and media player core platform, together with some custom and proprietary additions. Marketed as the first ever "Social Media Center," Boxee enables its users to view, rate and recommend content to their friends through many social network services and interactive media related features. One notable feature missing in Boxee is the ability to watch and record live TV received via over-the-air TV, cable or satellite signals.</launcherplot>
