[maemo-developers] D-BUS service name confusion

[From: Charles Werbick]

Hello All,

While we're on the subject of dbus, desktop files and bugs you might
also want to look at- https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3125

The upshot is that maemo doesn't handle extra whitespace in the
desktop file well. If after creating your desktop file, your app
crashes, check for spaces tabs and extra carriage returns in your
desktop file first. There might not be anything wrong with your
application...

Cheers,
Charles Werbick

p.s.- It took me some time (and a few headaches) to figure this out. I
hope this helps someone.
