Well in older system it was not essential if you kept the name of 
application same as the name of desktop file or Exec field or whatever. 
It simply worked without it. Anyway I added it and it still doesn't 
work. I also tried with StartupWMClass=SDL_App just in case something 
went wrong with SDL_VIDEO_X11_WMCLASS setting but it didn't show either.

It is a bit hard to check without dropbear or osso-xterm what is wrong 
on the device. I tried to install osso-xterm from 
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo2.0rc16/free/o/osso-xterm/
but it probably needs some dependancy. I thought it could work when 
there is no sandbox anymore, but it seems like packages for scratchbox 
arm target and devise are still a bit different.
