Hi Etuoyo,

Well, I haven't yet seen this kind of issue. Which version of Sticky Notes are you using?
Sticky Notes identifies the current desktop by using a GConf entry, the desktop ID returned from "/apps/osso/hildon-desktop/views/current". It accesses this information by using a GConf callback. If your modified Hildon-Desktop can handle this correctly, it should work properly.

Anyways, I've been using MohammadAG's Hildon-Desktop for some time now, without such issues. (Although I haven't seen any on a standard PR 1.2 desktop, either.)

Note that Hildon-Desktop has a buggy behaviour regarding this gconf entry, so Sticky Notes uses a hack to workaround it. If your modified desktop has this bug fixed, that is likely to affect the behaviour of Sticky Notes.

Maybe there is a tip you could pass on to the other developers to prevent their widgets disappearing.
Yeah, that is a fairly common symptom when Hildon-Home (the process managing all your widgets) crashes.
Well, my secret is that Sticky Notes runs totally unrelatedly from Hildon-Home. It lives in its own separate process and is therefore immune to these crashes.
