Hi guys,

I see there is severe misunderstanding in here about widgets and the stuff related to them.

I'd like to point out some general advices and good practices about this issue and widgets in general.

• hildon-home is the name of the process that runs all the widgets, not hildon-desktop
• widgets running under the hildon-home process means that if one widget is screwed up and crashes, hildon-home also goes down with it.
• In this case, it knows that it had previously crashed, but it has no idea what caused it.
• It assumes that the crash was because of a third party widget and therefore closes all third party widgets.
• Note that it does assume that built-in widgets are working good, but this may not be true for some of them.

A handy guide about how to get rid of the issue:

1. Remove all of your widgets from all of your desktops
2. Start adding them one by one. After adding each, wait some time (the time it usually takes the issue to appear)
3. If you notice that the issue re-appears, you will know which wisgets caused it
4. Please, notify the developer about his widget behaving wrong, therefore you can spare others the pain

I know, the above is already a small QA testing of the widgets.
If you don't want this issue to appear at all, you can avoid it by not installing widgets from extras-testing and extras-devel.

I think the widgets that reached Extras have gone through enough testing so they are safer. If not, help their developers by reporting them this issue.
