[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] program close automatically on maemo emulator

[From: William Hope]

I double checked the names and tried various combinations. Looks fine. 
When the names don't match, osso_initialize() returns NULL. Which is not 
the case here. Version number matches also. I put together the 
beginnings of my app by following the SDK Tutorial.

I'm also making calls to:
    osso_rpc_set_default_cb_f()
    osso_hw_set_event_cb()
    osso_application_set_exit_cb()

which all return OSSO_OK. I'll probably try taking them out to see if it 
changes anything. Need to do something as I can't test a whole lot with 
a 25 second window. :)

I tried installing maemopad to see it's behaviour and compare code. I 
must be doing something wrong as it's not showing up in the application 
list afer I install it.

I did find out that if application.desktop file has an entry: 
_Name=<application>
it screws up Maemo and you have to shut it down and restart it.

Anyone successfully running scratchbox on a Fedora box (specifically 
Core 4)? I'd probably make better progress if I didn't have to boot the 
Live-CD to get anything done and the environment there is completely 
different than my regular box.

Thanks,
Bill
