Hi, followed your advice. At the settings page streaming was turned off already, but to be sure it is set to off I turned it on and immediately off again, then set the autorefresh poll interval from off to 5min. and restarted tweetian. Then started some other small apps. Tweetian seemed to be stable when running in background. But after some time (10-15min) when switching back to tweetian from another app it happened that clicking on the tweetian window in the task switcher view *plopp* tweetian vanished. I will download the debug version and test it tomorrow.
