well it has always been open source so why then did we complain in the first place? But so far noone has come up with a patch to fix this battery drain yet.

Nokia developped the hildon-desktop didn't they (or are responsible for its development I guess). If they did not want us to use submenus why did they implemented the possibility to use them?

Oh, and it has nothing to do wit 3th party apps. It is just adding menu statements to the hildon-desktop cofiguration file that trigger the bug.

The bugzilla report about it shows all info to trigger the bug and even has system call trace logs that show what's going on/goes wrong. Maemo/nokia people are/were participating in the bug report...

So it just seems a bit odd that they suddenly stop upstream development.
