libosso connects to both D-Bus daemons: the system and session bus.
run-standalone.sh just defines the environment variable so that it knows
how to connect to the D-Bus session bus (there could be many of them).
You don't need that script when you develop in the device (environment
is defined there at login time). Just ask if you have questions, I
happen to know something about the horrible libosso :)

By the way, osso_initialize seems to work just fine without either
gtk_init or hildon_init. But no doubt failing to initialise one of
those will cause various kinds of hell later on. Is this dependency
documented anywhere?

If you're running on the device, make sure you're running as user and
not root (or at least using run-standalone.sh).
If you're running in Scratchbox, make sure to af-sb-init.sh start
and run the program using run-standalone.sh
Oh, note that some aspects of libosso will require a GLib mainloop,
whilst others require GTK+ to be initialized, as in Mr. Ivanov's reply
(osso_cp_plugin_execute () springs to mind).

Why?
Also, what does osso mean? Years of using Maemo, I've never figured
that out.
Is there any genuine getting started tutorial showing how to write a

application that's less than a hundred lines, with an explanation of
what all those lines are for?

Re: osso_initialize: how to make it work?
Hi Maemo!
You need either gtk_init or hildon_init first.
Thanks, Daniil.

Re: osso_initialize: how to make it work?
OK, it's the run-standalone.sh thing. I remember now, that was a
constant irritation when I was trying to fix bugs in Modest. I never
fully understood it. Is that thing documented anywhere, is there any
in-depth discussion of why it's necessary and how to use it? It really
makes every step in the development process very painful.
