Rather than hacking around, why not just drop the session management,
RPC and other integration offered by libosso (unless you really need
them of course)?

I have this in the .desktop, and no .service at all:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Name=Widget Browser
Comment=Browse Gtk+ and Hildon widgets
Exec=/usr/bin/widgetbrowser
Icon=widgetbrowser
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=System;
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
X-Osso-Service=
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

and don't even link to the libosso library.
