Thanks, works perfectly, very Cool!
I remember being able to do this using a Psion.
There was even a Casio watch that could do this, know my N900 can too

You should not have deleted the launcher (the .desktop file)
Also killing processes is a bit of a hack to restart services that automatically restart when killed/crashed. I would advice you to just restart the N900 instead of killing processes.
osso-addressbook.desktop is just a plain text file with:
and should be placed in:
/usr/share/applications/hildon/
and should be owned by root:
chown root:root /usr/share/applications/hildon/osso-addressbook.desktop

How about the option to dial out too?
I'm currently at work, and we need to hit 9 before we dial the number.
You've also said it's possible to update the number dialled with a + from an options screen - where do we find this?

concerning the "+":
Once you press the "Play DTMF" button, you will find an "Options" button on the right hand side of the numbers.
concerning the general prefix: I will add another option for this in the next version.

a) a command line program that outputs DTMF tones over the speaker
b) an address book plugin that executes the above mentioned program from the options menu of a selected contact.
The program is available from extras-testing. If you choose the package "abook-dtmf" containing the plugin, the other package "dtmf" containing the command line program should be selected automatically.
The "osso-addressbook" process needs to be restarted for the plugin to be loaded. The safest method to achieve this is to reboot the phone.
For numbers containing a "+" it is possible to adjust the international call prefix to your local choice from an options screen. Also, you can configure a prefix that is added to all numbers.
Screenshots:
Edit 1: Added screenshot, uploaded to extras-devel, package optified
Edit 2: Rephrased the restarting part of the instructions
Edit 3: 2nd screenshot
Edit 4: Version 0.2
