a) after everything, installing it again causes any harm?
b) any other "devel" widgets? (I assume you have reasons to believe this app was the source of problems)

Now, some revelations:
I observed the pretty much the same "bug" as you, but I just added widget by widget (after reboot or not) and everything works fine now..

I'm somewhat puzzled by this bc whatever handles widget-related stuff was copied from personal-ip-address/countdown-home-widget/personal-gprs-counter or the like.. so if the bug was on one of those, I just propagated.... or.. I did something bad on the app myself.

Sorry for the inconvenient, this app is somewhat experimental and that's why I never upped to extras-testing. What I can say to help is that it works OK with PR1.1 (after this glitch).

I'm kinda without time to work on the app recently, I expect to work on it next week..

(Also, I already figured out a way to enable width management.. =])

Well.. any other info around this bug may be useful..

Thanks nex!
Hi,

I just got around to retrying this.

1) Installed desktop-cmd-exec, and immediately I couldn't access the desktop menu where you add widgets/shortcuts. The little cog icon would appear, I'd click on it, the Desktop menu would appear but it would not be clickable.

2) Rebooted and all my icons on all 4 desktops apart from contacts and bookmarks disappeared.

3) Removed desktop-exec-cmd and rebooted and all was back to normal.

4) Then I remembered that I have personal-gprs-monitor installed so I wondered if this could be messing something up after re-reading your comment on how the widget code is the same. I removed it, rebooted, installed desktop-exec-cmd, but nothing changed. The issue described above was still there.

I do have experimental stuff installed, but how do I start checking what bothers what? I could start removing everything and retrying all the time.

Do you know of any way to easily get a list of apps I have installed from extras-testing and extras-devel? That way I can know what to uninstall.

Btw if it matters at all I'm using apt-get for all of this, not the Application Manager UI
