[maemo-developers] Missing Hildon include files?

[From: David Hazel]

Thanks for the suggestion. Does the name I pass to dbus_bus_name_has_owner
need to be "osso_browser", or OSSO_BROWSER_SERVICE, to determine whether the
Browser is running?

Is there any online documentation for the DBUS API? I was trying to pick my
way through the include files the other day, for just this purpose, but the
function names tell me almost nothing about what they do, and there are no
comments in the header files to help me. I couldn't find any documentation
for them.

I wonder why the osso-manager.h function is documented among the rest of the
Maemo APIs, if it is not intended for general use? There should at least be
a note somewhere saying that it is for internal use.

It is meant for maemo-af-desktop internal use. Use
dbus_bus_name_has_owner[1] instead.
