Thanks. I checked osso_xterm files and it has the things setup just like
the above...

... as my prog still gets killed... should I also give 3rd arg to 
osso_initialize() as true instead of false. I'll check tomorrow
(then launching from xterm will give errors/warnings on terminal;
is there any way to check whether osso_initialize() should be caller od not?).


BTW, If I did not mention already; after changing either X-Osso-Service
or Name I had to reboot until the system launched the newly-installed
version :O  (a few days ago I lost almost 2 hours to wonder where the
problem was -- tried almost all imaginable things except reboot then)
