Can it be an app/icon accessed via the "programs menu" (what's the official name for the page of application icons which you get clicking at the top left with no tasks running?)

$ dsmetool -k /usr/bin/hildon-home
dsmetool "-k" tells the DSME SW-watchdog to stop the process AND its automatic restarting
$ dsmetool -t /usr/bin/hildon-home
dsmetool "-t" option tells DSME SW-watchdog to restart process when it crashes and if that doesn't help, reboot
See "dsmetool" for explanation on its options.

I have the same issue.
Its is getting very comon to freeze the desktop.
And i think that the problem is started by Desktop Command Widget
Desktop freezes if you add a unknown command with DCW.
The command
killall hildon-desktop
will kill the desktop and must restart anyway.
dsmetool -k /usr/bin/hildon-home
will freeze the screen and must restart anyway.
I will do more tests.

i know its an old thread, but i think this is kinda connected.
i found that if you set the telephone-app to launch in portrait-mode, it WILL lock up the desktop. ALWAYS. at least thats fact for me, the last 4 times i tried it froze.
it doesnt happen if you set it to landscape or automatic.
also, killall hildon-desktop doesnt help too, because you have to restart the divice anyway.

I have also realised now that as well as the behaviour I described in my OP, it blocks notifications, meaning that if it has frozen it won't show me any text messages (and probably IMs) until I restart.
I wonder if there has been any progress on this? It was an annoyance before, but now that I realise it is blocking SMS it's more important to me to resolve it!
