Has anybody else had a problem with all the applets on the desktop disappearing?

I'm running 2008 on a N800 and started to add the missing lib, etc to get Maemo Mapper, Kagu, UKMP, etc working.

So I added some bora lib's but now randomly at least 3-4 times a day all my applets disappear from the desktop the only non default applet is IpHome.

I don't know if it's related or not, but every time I use the control panel applet to show or hide a plugin icon in the taskbar, all desktop applets disappear (unchecked, size and position reset). Very irritating :-)

i have the same problem with OS2008. Anyone found a solution or known cause?
Usually when applets dissapear also the non-default "status" applets dissapear (volume/brightness control and clock)

If you have the 'large statusbar clock', get rid of it - it's responsible of a memory leak that resets your desktop.

To bring everything back without resetting, go to Control Panel > Panels.. click on OK. This should reset the desktop and reload all of your status bar icons. Then you have to go to Home > Select Applets... and reselect the desktop applets you want to use. Usually they should load in the last place you had them.

after owning both a n800 and a n810 i have learnt the following

for good day to day use and long battery life

1.no desktop applets

2.no status bar applets-use whats their

3 minimum .number of apps no browsers---tear midori or arora

4.no extra devel

5 leave unit on all the time

6,for music use media player--no canola kagu etc...youamp the best if you must

7. feedcircuit for rss

8.streamtuner and streamripper work for free music download

9.agps and minigps for n810

thats it --keep it simple

the rest is not worth the bother

If you have email (Modest) set to auto retrieve emails it will crash your desktop.
