It's normal for the hildon-input-method to come back as it's a system daemon (a process meant to run in the background and provide services), not a normal process.

However, if it's coming back and still at like 90% of your CPU, then there is something fundamentally wrong with your input-method daemon.

A re-flash would probably be the easiest way to fix this for good in that case, so make a backup, flash, and then restore backup.

No real answers, but you might check this bug report. It may give you some clues. Then check the comments from about #14 or so.

Just a heads up, I flashed my whatever, and my emmc, and I still have this problem... What the heck, does that mean that it HAS to be from an app ive installed?

The fix provided in this bug page, what exactly does it do? Are there unforseen consequences in my future usage if im 'changing' or 'moving' directories? <- Thats just what im asuming is happening in the fix...

Wouldnt it be better to address what is disturing the hildon-input-method, for example hunting down what app triggers it?
