[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] launching applications via .desktop file, process priorities - scummvm problem

I think that what happens is that if you don't have the d-bus service
field in desktop file, task navigator cannot launch the application using
D-BUS so this D-BUS patch won't help here.

If you don't have the service field defined  TN simply forks the
application and the application inherits the properties of the
desktop process.
