[maemo-developers] is "dbus-uuidgen --ensure" ok in an install script?

[From: Faheem Pervez]

Hi,

I don't think this will help your problem described in your reply but
instead of using dbus-uuidgen, you can use run-standalone.sh <name of
program> instead.

Maybe a su - user -c '<name of program>' may work.
