[maemo-developers] Problem running installed app (using icon)

[From: saurabh aggarwal]

The myapp vs. myApp is not the issue. I have replaced the actual name of the
app with myApp (because of a confidentiality agreement), and that probably
caused the typo.

I have since then added the service file, and the required code (as given in
a QT sample app). I still wasn't able to launch my application.

So, I went and removed all my application initialization code (where I was
adding widgets to the main window, loading preferences, loading icons/svgs
etc. ), and then I saw that my application (which now is just a QT default
window) would run fine. As soon as I re-add the initialization code, my app
stops working.

Is there some sort of a time-limit imposed in which the app has to call
app.exec() or something like that? I also do have a few printfs in my code -
can they cause any problems?

Daniil mentioned that there was a case when an app might be killed within 2
seconds of launch - what exactly triggers that? Could it be that I am taking
too long in initialization, and that is causing something (maybe a dbus
message) to timeout and kill the app?
