A new version is available, This is for PR1.1:
http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n90...ildon-desktop6
Source patch (relative to 2.2.120 source):
http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n900/kf/hd6.diff
The only difference from previous version other than rebasing to PR1.1 is that changing desktops by arrows is faster now.
About problems: this is a work in progress, so there are expected to be bugs. I only release binaries that worked for me for some time, but obviously I cannot test everything. I still suspect that at least some of the problems are due to not following installation instructions properly.
For recovery in case of problems:
The method I use is a bootmenu + another boot partition. This allows me to restore a known good hildon-desktop in case that I installed one that causes a reboot loop.
Another option is to install openssh server before hand, and use flasher-3.5 to enable rd-mode. I expect that this will prevent reboots in case of hildon-desktop crashes, so while you can't actually use the device, you can ssh into it and restore a working hildon-desktop.
I'll be happy if people who find a serious bug and have the patience to work on the bug and a have (or are willing to install) a recovery method contact me by private message or email.
