Anyway..... if this is of interest to anyone, here's how to retrieve the
home launchers and how to invoke one of them...
IList<ResolveInfo> resolveList =
PackageManager.QueryIntentActivities( new Intent( Intent.ActionMain
).AddCategory( Intent.CategoryHome ),
(int)PackageInfoFlags.MatchDefaultOnly );
...
ResolveInfo resolve = ... pick one...
Intent launcherIntent = new Intent();
launcherIntent.SetClassName( resolve.ActivityInfo.PackageName,
resolve.ActivityInfo.Name );
launcherIntent.AddCategory( Intent.CategoryLauncher );
StartActivity( launcherIntent );
