Yes, works fine. I was under impression that my script got killed but it 
was another error. I tried it with simple loop

Nokia770-51:~$ cat /home/user/test.sh
#!/bin/sh
while true ; do
date >>/tmp/test$$
sleep 1
done

and desktop file

Nokia770-51:~$ cat 
/var/lib/install/etc/others-menu/extra_applications/test.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Test
Exec=/home/user/test.sh

and nothing gets killed. Even multiple invocation work fine. Apart from 
higher priority this script gets there is no problem. Thanks.

Frantisek
