Thanks for everyone for help... but still I can not get the launched
program survive longer than say 30 seconds. I've tried almost everything;
rebooting the device every now and then (I did not test with X-Window-Icon
and X-Window-Icon-Dimmed if that makes any difference).

I quess I wont try with osso_initialize() for a while but state that
on a web page and just fix that fork() thing to proper one...
(removing X-Osso-service might work too, but this fork() trick gives
me tolerably working solution for sure)

... after there is authorative, solid and robust information of how these
D-BUS and osso_initialize() (and so on) things are to be used I'll
reconsider, just now it just takes too much time to be wasted.
