use:

run-standalone.sh my_app

Should solve the problem for python apps too.

If you want to run your app from the menu
add a .desktop file to /usr/share/applications/hildon
with the Exec field pointing to your app and with no X-OssoService field.

Just change the GTK  IM module used away from the maemo one.
