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
Ok.. I see that this bug seems really annoying =/
Some things I would try to checkif the problem really is my widget:
a) install desktop-cmd-exec, triggering the prob and then just reboot (without uninstalling).. is the prob still there?

b)Uninstall desktop-cmd-exec and try cycles of installing-uninstalling widgets like personal-ip-address or countdown-widget

Other thing that come to mind: try removing (by hand) ".desktop_cmd_exec" on your home folder which may got corrupted in some weird way..

Now changing the subject, thanks to qwerty12 multiple instances are experimentally working here =]
just one little glitch that took me one hour to find out:
"X-Multiple=True" != "X-Multiple=true" =]
