Shivkumar, > ... whenever I start GPE calendar after a long break it always > crashes. It requires a second attempt to come up. Report this at http://bugzilla.handhelds.org/. I think that hildon may kill apps that take too long to start, and if you have many calendar entries you may be getting bitten by this. I had a similar problem with my calendar when I first upgraded to ITOS2006, I believe gpe-cal was doing some database cleanup during the first startup that took "too long" and it was consistently crashing (or being killed) on startup. For me, running gpe-calendar once from an xterm using run-standalone.sh allowed the first run to complete and I haven't had trouble since (with about 650 calendar entries). You're problem may be different and/or unrelated, but I would try using run-standalone.sh and see if that improves things, and also see if Florian has anything to say. Thanks, Mike
