myrtle Gizmo app crashed. The result is that somehow a part of the application remains in the system. A 'ps' command gives the following result :

1480 user DW [gizmo]

Also the gizmo.icon remains in the desktop of my Nokia 770.

Turning off/on the device does not remove the gizmo from memory......

How to proceed?

Since you seem to have the xterm installed, try:
Code:
killall gizmo
If that doesn't do the trick, try:
Code:
kill 1480
as 1480 is the apparent PID of your hung gizmo app.

If that doesn't work, try:
Code:
kill -9 1480

I tried the above tips but it didn't help.....

But the crash did happen during battery charging. Switching on/off somehow results that the memory isn't cleared/reset during a switch off/on action....(??)

Oh ... when the 770 is hooked up to the charger, it doesn't actually turn off when you turn it off. It goes into some sort of suspend mode which makes it pretty quick to boot up again but doesn't clear up the cruft.
Try power cycling with the 770 unplugged. If you don't get the power-off/offline/etc. dialog just keep holding the power button down and it should turn off completely eventually ... it may take 10 seconds or so.
