Application exit problem

Hi everybody,

	I'm having a weird problem with my app. I need to run it from a shell
script in order to set an environment variable, so my .desktop file in
/home/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications contains the line "Exec=myapp.sh", and the
shell script (in /home/QtPalmtop/bin) looks like this:

export MY_VAR="important environment variable"
myapp
exit

	What happens is: I run the app, and exit normally.  I then tap the icon to
run it again.  This time, however, the app does not run, but its icon
appears in the taskbar and will remain there, whatever I do, until I reset
Qtopia.  Things appear to work as normal at this point, with the following
exceptions:

- if I start my app, or click on its taskbar icon, it launches, but a second
icon appears in the taskbar.
- if I start any other app, upon exiting it, my app will immediately launch
again.

	I have done a few experiments and found that this behaviour will occur for
any app (e.g. sysinfo, addressbook) that is started through a shell script
in this way.  It happens on the SL-A300 as well as the SL-5500.  I have also
discovered that the system passes two parameters to the script, "-qcop
/tmp/qcop-msg-myapp.sh", but forwarding those on to the app itself makes no
difference, whether or not I trim off the ".sh" (i.e. "myapp -qcop
/tmp/qcop-msg-myapp").

	As you can probably tell, I'm pretty new to Zaurus development.  Is there
anyone out there who can guess what's going on here, or has had the same
problem?
