What happened with the hildon-home thread linked here? Giving me a 404. Did they reach a conclusion there? Cause I kinda have the same issue, and this thread had some hildon-home mentions too.

So yeah, random phone slowdowns, and on the times that I am fast enough to run top to see what's causing it, it's hildon-home. Sometimes it's when I'm not doing anything else but playing music, and the song skips a little, sometimes it's when I unlock it.

Kicker is: I only have 1 of the 4 desktops enabled, and no widgets at all installed or placed on the desktop. I was purposely monitoring what was going on using top via ssh and I saw that hildon-home was using 20~30% CPU at times. It does not take 20% of the CPU to display a wallpaper. :P

Anyway, yes, I could reflash, since I don't recall it happening before. But isn't there a way to somehow reset hildon-home? Deleting preferences or whatnot?

(Killing the process/restarting usually fixes it, but not for long. Uptime doesn't seem to affect it much, as I got essentially the same behavior even after 8 days up.)
