Any 3rd party themes for example? Hm. I just remembered that I saw an effect like this in some devel version of ITOS2006 on N770. The reason was that some process had used all the file descriptors and therefore Gtk apps couldn't get shared memory segments with the X server and sapwood server couldn't load new theme images. However, Chinook has a large enough amount of file descriptors that you can have all the pre-installed apps in use and one that has leaked as many file descriptors as a single process can (thousand) and the device still works. So, this might not be the cause. But to make sure, please mail what this gives: cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr > Not yet. Havent found any for 2008.

OMWeather was earlier leaking very badly (and because it's a Desktop plugin and Desktop is OOM-protected, the applet could force device to get very slow and eventually to reboot). Please attach /proc/meminfo file contents from the situation when this happens. - Eero
