Hey everyone!
I'm hoping I can get some sort of collaborative effort to figure out which desktop widget/status bar applet is "misbehaving" and creating a memory leak on my tablet. Since I don't have multiple tablets, and since testing every widget/applet individually is a pain, I'm hoping you guys can help me figure it out. Plus, this can help serve as a reference for future use.

Symptoms:
Whenever a program consumes too much memory (I'm assuming this--I only see this behavior when I open mutilple instances of microB or mutiple pages in digia@web), everything on the desktop disappears and the applets (advanced power, etc.) disappear & revert to the original applets.

I'm typically running:
Desktop Widgets:
- Personal Launcher
- mgCal
- HomeDisk Free
Applets in the status bar:
- Large Statusbar Clock
- Advanced Backlight Control
- Advanced Power
- "Graph Plugin" (forgot the name)
- Webmail Notifier

It would be great if people could chime in indicating that they use (ex.: Personal Launcher) as well, and they have/have never experienced the symptoms described above.

Whoops, I guess this has already been answered here.
It seems:
1) Large Statusbar Clock -- fixed by disabling alarms (Configure -- untick Enable Alarms)

causes the symptoms described above. Maybe this thread can still be useful in pinpoint some other applications, though? (and I already spent the time writing it -- it would be a waste not to post it ).
