You can see the properties Emacs uses with the "xprop" utility from the maemo x-debug-tools package: http://maemo.org/development/tools/doc/x-debug-tools Thanks for the tip. Can I ask for a little more help? I created /usr/share/applications/hildon-navigator/emacs.desktop: /usr/share/applications/hildon-navigator $ ls -l emacs.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 55 Feb 5 21:32 emacs.desktop /usr/share/applications/hildon-navigator $ cat emacs.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=Emacs WM_CLASS=Emacs Type=default Then I did: $ rm -rf /home/user/.osso Then I rebooted. Then I ran emacs over ssh -X but was not able to select the Emacs window. ~/.osso/hildon-desktop $ cat tasknavigator.conf [/usr/share/applications/hildon-navigator/hildon-task-navigator-bookmarks.desktop] [/usr/share/applications/hildon-navigator/osso-contact-plugin.desktop] [/usr/share/applications/hildon-navigator/applications-menu.desktop] [/usr/share/applications/hildon-navigator/app-switcher.desktop] [/usr/share/applications/hildon-navigator/switcher-menu.desktop] What did I do wrong?
