[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Developing for IT2006

[From: Luca Donaggio]

I created a .deb for i386 and installed it in Scratchbox with dpkg -i.
Result is that DBUS was looking for "com.nokia.grsync" service, while in
grsync.service service's name is defined as "it.opbyte.grsync"; I changed my
.desktop accordingly:

X-Osso-Service=it.opbyte.grsync

and it worked!
Now I still have to understand why it doesn't come up hildonized!
