On the n900, if something goes unused by me, and I have any inkling of an idea it's eating juice, I kill it.

Web Runtime widgets would be no exception. And given the additional overhead (particularly on the GTK based Maemo5), I'd likely be even more apt to try to disable these until they prove useful to me as a user or developer.

This concern primarily applies to widgets though, I don't really desire to disable the runtime, but I would be less likely to use a Web Runtime based widget due to the potentially significant overhead. For an application, this does not bother me.

Will the visible/not-visible signals sent to hildon desktop widgets be accessible to Web Runtime Widgets to prevent unnecessary battery drain?
