[maemo-developers] Python startup desktop icon

[From: Tony Maro]

I'm trying to follow the instructions at
http://maemo.org/development/documentation/how-tos/3-x/python_maemo_3.x_howto.html

I have the icon launching my app just fine, but when I use the
"X-Osso-Service" and a .service dbus file, I get something odd.

It tells me "Starting app" in the top right, and the application starts just
fine.

Then, after about 20 seconds, the app closes.  If I launch it without using
X-Osso-service, it of course gives no notification that the app is opening,
but it opens and stays open.


Here's my thummim.desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Thummim Reader
Comment=Thummim Scripture Reader
Exec=/home/user/Thummim/Thummim
Type=Application
Icon=gpe-todo
X-Osso-Service=thummim
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

Here's my thummim.service file:

[D-BUS Service]
Name=com.nokia.thummim
Exec=/home/user/Thummim/Thummim
