Why do you want to restart the desktop process?

For me it's usual behavior.

Since dbus is used for many things, I'd suggest that you listen in on it while the other application "does its magic" to see what's happening. If you're lucky, it's a simple command that is sent that you then can implement in your own application.
If some other communication is used, you'll have to get more creative and that's perhaps too big a scope.

Personalization_app doesn't ideally switch between themes, after it you can see some relics of old theme.

And I still think it's a Qt bug. Gtk+ apps can handle the shutdown + startup of hildon-desktop without issues.

I already tried scanning the DBus and there's no (extra) activity there.

What does the hildon-desktop theme option do?
hildon-desktop -theme theme : Load the specified theme
hildon-desktop -theme theme : Load the specified theme
- open some Qt application which has at least one QComboBox or some menus on top bar to tap to
- run "killall hildon-desktop" or "dsmetool -k /usr/bin/hildon-desktop; dsmetool -t -U user /usr/bin/hildon-desktop"
Now try to get away without rebooting the device... only option is to killall the qt app(s) that were running in the background via SSH connection.
Is this a bug in Qt or is there another more "gentle" way to restart hildon-desktop than ones above?
