osso_initialize is not needed if you don't specify X-Osso-Service in
the .desktop file.

Here's a .desktop file that works properly:

[ville~/qtdone]|4> cat qtdone.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=qtdone
Exec=/usr/bin/qtdone
Icon=qtdone
StartupWMClass=qtdone
X-Window-Icon=qtdone
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
Terminal=false
