Thank you Nicolai for the kind and helpful reply.

Venemo, I did search. In fact I searched and before I post the CMS engines does a search itself and I have read all 6 posts it found, none of which was related to my problem. I believe this is a recurring problem but the search engine didnt help much.

A follow-up.

I edited the file Nicolai has mentioned and removed all widget. Everything worked just fine after that. I re-enabled the widgets one by one and just found out its the RSS widget which is looping.

If I try to launch the RSS from the menu other than the Widget it fails the same way, 100% CPU for the hildon-desktop and loops forever making my N900 device unsable. So I can not reconfigure the RSS because the device just freezes, lock deads after I launch RSS.

I will investigate how to remove the RSS feeds from the command line, I believe its one of the many feeds which is making the RSS app goes nuts.

I will update this post after I fix it, so it gets to be useful to someone else in the future, just in case the search engine happens to find my post to someone interested.

Since Maemo is based on open source and is certainly openly compreensible probaby anything can be fixed without reflashing

Even if one has to recover a copy of a givem conf file from another running maemo device.

thanks again
