Packaging Home Page Components for AppExchange

Hi... the App we're developing for SF integration with our third-party software hinges on a Home Page Component which displays in the left sidebar on the Home page, and also on every tab.

We have accomplished this by using a "hidden" inline frame to hold the Custom S-Control in the Home Page Component, and then we use the setting that allows Home Page Components to appear on every tab.

My question is how do we package these settings into an App? Is it possible to 1) Insert the Home Page Component into the customer's Home Page, and 2) Change his/her settings to display said Home Page Component on every tab?

If not - how do other app designers get around not being able to "install" certain components? Do you just release an intallation how-to and hope your customers are all advanced users? :-/

Thanks,
-Nathan

Not sure if this is what you are asking, but in Summer 07 you will be able to package home page components
