Most of the OpenSceneGraph applications/examples are designed to run with an argument passed in on the command line, so if you run from the desktop they will just exit.

The OpenSceneGraph is middleware, so is used by developers to develop their own simulators or games. The applications that come with the OpenSceneGraph distribution exist primarily as examples to help developers learn how to program with the API, rather to used by an end user. For this reason you won't find any GUI applications, its purely graphics focused.

For OpenSceneGraph support you'll find it best to use the osg-users mailing list:
