OK, that works fine as an app. I'm having some trouble adding it to
the panel though. It shows up in the list of items I can add, and it
seems it to act like it's being added, but I don't see an icon
anywhere on the panel.

I'd like to fix this but at least my wife will be happy with even
starting the app from the menu.

Thanks,
Mark
