[maemo-developers] .desktop file

[From: Faheem Pervez]

Hi,

For "When selected from menu, launch feedback appears in top right
corner, but the program does not run.":

Have you tried adding an exec field to
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/dbus_scripts_settings.service like:
[D-BUS Service]
Name=com.nokia.dbus_scripts_settings
Exec=/usr/bin/dbus-scripts-settings

With X-Osso-Service in your desktop file, Exec field in your desktop file is
overridden and as you have no Exec field in your service file, it won't run
anything.

Best Regards,
Faheem
