This happens whenever the hildon-home crashes. Most probably because of a buggy widget.

If that happens you have 3 options:
  • Live life as-is and re-add the widgets
  • Reboot the device
  • Use actman to restore the desktop

For #3 you can open a terminal and run (as user):
Code:
$ activity current
which will show you the name of the current activity (let's say "main"). And then:

Code:
$ activity load -f main
where "main" is the name of the current activity.

This will reload all widgets and icons just like they were stored at the "main" activity.

Note that actman only stores the widgets etc when you change activity.
