I suppose it's a possibility as I'm using the "Danjon" theme that's included in the default image. I'm not sure how that would interfere with matchbox shutting down though. I am definitely not running a plain jane fresh install; I have abiword, maemo-mapper, fbreader, fmradio-applet, and a host of other apps.

If you look in the stopmaemo you will see the line to stop matchbox, what happens if you run that manually.
It doesn't do anything aside from the message you get that matchbox is shutting down.

I can see it by running "ps -ef | grep matchbox". At that point I see the matchbox-wm process listed as "/usr/bin/matchbox-window-manager -theme theme3 -use_t". I can also detect that fact it's running by trying to move windows (after KDE has started) which turn transparent instead of moving and exhibit the theme decorations from Hildon instead of KDE. I edited stopmaemo and commented out the "startkde" line to avoid having all those mesages scrolling past; after running the stopmaemo script several times it never stopped matchbox except in one isolated instance I can't reproduce (rebooted to test it and that was it-- never again).
