[maemo-developers] Dbus on Mer

[From: Jeffrey Barish]

I am trying to activate the display on an N800 using dbus.  On maemo, my 
code works fine.  On Mer, I get

osso.OssoException: Cannot initialize context.

I have fiddled with the X-Osso-Service entry in my .desktop file in 
/usr/share/applications and with the Name entry in my .service file in 
/usr/share/dbus-1/services.  Everything that I have tried produces the same 
error message.  Has anyone had any luck using osso.Context on Mer?

BTW, is Mer still alive?  I see that there has been some occasional chat 
about it, but the release schedule for version 0.17 hasn't been updated for 
a long time.  Nor, I believe, has the hardware support table.
