[hildon-home] Icons Become Unclickable
 
Hello,

My N900 has this weird problem that sometimes my desktop icons (widgets, weather, etc) become unclickable. This seems to happen randomly, but also specifically definitely happens after I connect to a VPN using Vpnc using a command line alias.

I can still move desktops, but all of the icons become unclickable.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

I've had this problem a few times too. Never been able to put my finger on cause though. Only way i found to get round it is to restart device. Would be nice to know what root cause of problem is though! Just anothor little quirk of the n900!

lol NO that it not the fix. this is an issue which has had a few bug reports logged about it. rebooting the device doesnt fix it


in xterminal type this

sudo gainroot
killall hildon-desktop
killall hildon-home

in my case a reboot would fix it, but only until the next incident

I will try the scripts felbutss posted, but is there a better (automatic) fix?

Thanks

try to limit your widgets. try not to use widgets made with python. dont use apps from extra-devel. wait untill PR1.2

had this happen as well.
only the menu-button was working. a few minutes later the system told me that hildon-home crashed.

it restarted (not the device, but only hildon-home) and then it was working again.

I have too this problem . It's happens after calls... killall hildon-home it help only one time. If I run this command again, all my widgets a disappear from desktop and I need add them again manually...

List all your desktop widgets here if this happens. Otherwise we all can just guess.
