Hello,

Yesterday I was running two simples tasks, browsing the web and downloading 2 torrent files (using transmission) and my N900 just dead locked. I was responseless on the device for several minutes but noticed it was online, so I ssh'ed to it and noticed browserd and hildon-desktop were both sharing all my available CPU.

I decided to killall -9 browserd and the system crashed after that.

After starting N900 again hildon-desktop was again using all available CPU. browserd was not...

I restarted the system several times and nothing changed.

Now what I have is an N900 device using all available CPU and therefore running quickly out of battery. hildon-desktop process is the one eating all available CPU.

Something seems to be looping. After restart what I have is:

- Desktop wallpapers, get loaded, contact and website desktop shortcuts get loaded correctly.
- No application shortcut gets loaded.
- No widget gets loaded.
- If I click on the engine button to activate desktop-edit mode, the menu bar is just dead. Clicking it is non-responding.

It really seems that hildon-desktop is looping while loading a widget or something else.

So, I decided to ask here, where do I find hildon-desktop configuration files? Which other files, if corrumpted, would lead to such a behavior?

Since the device is mostly "frozen" 'cos of the high load averages and high CPU usage, how can I disabled widgets from the command line?

Is there anything else other than what I am intending to (finding out corrupted conf files and disabling widgets) I can try before reflashing?
