I had a similar problem with the hard sleep mode widged, i screwed up the set up a bit and forgot to uncheck the updade at start up and switch desktop options so as soon as i turned my n 900 on it went straight to sleep when i uninstalled and re installed it i got the same problem. the way i solved it was rather low tech, using the lock button to activate the desk top for about half a second at a time i first held the stylus down to enter desktop edit (took a few tries) and then selected the wrench icon on the offending widged to edit it, before that i tried simply deleting the widget but the problem just reacured as soon as i tried to replace it, hope this helps in some way.
