I am using Maemo 5, and I have a suddenly developed curios problem.

All the icons from all my desktop views have disappeared.
When I tap on the empty desktop a couple of times, the cog icon appears on the top of the screen and offers the standard option of "Desktop menu".
However when I tap on the Desktop menu option, nothing happens, absolutely no response!
So I can't add the widgets or shortcuts or manage views or anything like that.

Another thing -
The notification pop-ups of a missed call, and a skype conversation simply refuse to go away.
This is even though I cleared my entire recent call list, and tapping on both these notifications is unresponsive too.
The status menu applet is responsive, and works.
I can ssh into my phone, wifi works, can accept calls.

Things that I have already tried:
pkill hildon-home && pkill hildon-desktop
Reboot, remove battery, etc....
re-install of hildon-desktop using apt-get
Changed theme.
Googled for 48 hours and I can't seem to find any solution to this.

I love Maemo in my N900, been using ubuntu / debian for quite soem time, but always used Linux only on SSH.

I will be so grateful if somebody can help with this.

Thanks in advance.
