Strange crash, ask for help on how to debug

Hi all,

I'm porting PCManX to N900.
The functions work well now, but it will crash frequently.
Usually, I need to open XTerm, to set "ulimit -c unlimited", and run the
application, to get the crash dump file.
But it's strange for this application. The crash never happens if I run
the application from XTerm.
Whatever I run "pcmanx" or "run-standalone pcmanx", it will not crash.
Only if I start the application from the
application list, it may crash after a while.

I think most of you won't use this application. I mean, PCManX is an old
style telnet BBS client.
So I just would like to ask if you have any idea about how to debug that
in this situation? I cannot get any crash log now.

Best regards,
Evan JIANG

In your desktop file, you're using X-Osso-Service but you aren't
calling osso_initialize in your program. Since hildon-desktop is
starting your program up via D-Bus, it expects to be able to call the
"top_application" method on your application. You can either do that
(call osso_initialize) or remove the X-Osso-Service line.

Best regards,
