Removing the alarms plugin

Nokia seem to have included an unfinished applet that opens the clock app, to hide it, you may move the .desktop file 

devel-su #etner root pass
mv /usr/share/meegotouch/applicationextensions/statusindicatormenu-alarms.desktop /usr/share/meegotouch/applicationextensions/statusindicatormenu-alarms.disabled

To make it visible again: 

devel-su #etner root pass
mv /usr/share/meegotouch/applicationextensions/statusindicatormenu-alarms.disabled /usr/share/meegotouch/applicationextensions/statusindicatormenu-alarms.desktop

Plugins

Here is a list of plugins currently available for unrestricted-system-ui:

Developers

Developers who plan to make status menu plugins should have unrestricted-system-ui in their debian/control Depends: line, this is to prevent user confusion and make it easier for the developer to support the user.

Plugins need to be installed in /usr/lib/meegotouch/applicationextensions/
.desktop files for the plugins need to be installed in /usr/share/meegotouch/applicationextensions

Please follow this naming scheme so it's easier for the user to distinguish plugins.
For the lib: libstatusindicatormenu-foobar.so
For the desktop file: statusindicatormenu-foobar.desktop
where foobar can be replaced with anything.

Here's a sample .desktop file 

[Desktop Entry]
Type=X-MeeGoApplicationExtension
Name=Foo Bar Status menu plugin
 
[X-MeeGoApplicationExtension]
Interface=com.meego.core.MStatusIndicatorMenuExtensionInterface/1.0
Extension=libstatusindicatormenu-foobar.so
