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

[From: Chitti Babu]

Hi Saurabh,
If that is the case, can you postpone the initialization ? 
I remember  ensuring such kind of functions are called at idle time [g_idle_add() ] .

Similar way, you can set a timeout of '0' secs using QTimer. In the respective callback, you can do your initialization .

I did have the X-Osso-Type, but didn't have the Terminal=false line.  Don't think it will help.

I have since then added all the service files, 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 from file etc.), and then I saw that my application 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?

Hi Saurabh,

Do you have these 2 lines in your desktop file ?

X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
Terminal=false
