If I may I'd though have a suggestion for future versions; support to rotate and add other widgets to the fields. I though think that this won't happen, since every widget can be in different size/etc?
Sorry

I'm by the way having problems with either this widget (DrLaunch) or Black Plastic-theme. I can't swap my themes anymore, since the Themes-button does squat. I also don't get my widgets loaded, I only get the Media Player Widget loaded during startup, otherwise my desktops are blank. I've already uninstalled Black Plastic but that didn't help.
Restoring from older backup (and not restoring the Black Plastic nor installing DrLaunch) did not help either. I'm considering to re-flash the device...

Here is the last (I hope) attempt for fixing this: Soon there will be a new version (0.7.1-1) in extras-devel. This is only meant for debugging and it won't reach extras-testing. In fact I created specifically for you :-)
I will test it out soon and report back.

I managed to reproduce the crash... strangely it happened only after I changed fonts with the plastic theme - uninstalled - reinstalled - rebooted - installed drlaunch. It didn't happen last time I did the exact same thing (without changing the font).
Nevertheless, here is the log file, and while I'm no developer and can make little sense of any of it, I can tell you it's full of fail. Which in this case is only for the better, I reckon.

I know this is a double-post but still. I noticed, that the DrLaunch does not, after all, load any of it's widgets for me, whilst booting up. This also effects to other widgets, e.g. bluetzwitch, Calendar Home Widget and ConnectNow. However, for some reason, it doesn't affect the MediaPlayer widget.
(And I found out why my Themes didn't work, it was because of an-DROID. Don't know why but it is the culprit for that.)

My dissapearing widgets include Personal IP Address, Personal Dataplan Monitor, OM Weather, Connect Now, Touch Search, Calendasr Home Widget and Bluezwitch but the Media Player widget also resists for me.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I believe that we nailed it
Based on the logfile that aanckar sent and the widgets list i was able to reproduce the bug. For most (if not all) of you, the problem occurred whenever DrLaunch was used in conjunction with bluezwitch.
The problem is a bug/problem of hildon-desktop API and is accompanied by a limitation of the python bindings for hildon-deskop. In short, the dbus.SystemBus() seems to not be able to work for more than one widgets and since bluezwitch was using it too, DrLaunch caused hildon-home to crash.
Also see this bug #8611
Soon version 0.8-1 will reach extras-devel and then extras-testing. You can try that one.
Thanks a lot all of you and especially aanckar!

This version will redirect stdout and stderr to /tmp/drlaunch.log. This means that if you manage to crash the desktop by installing drlaunch it will most probably contain the answer to the problem.
So, get 0.7.1-1 from extras-devel and install it. Then try to recreate the problem. If you manage to do it then send me the contents of the file. It should contain the answer.
EDIT: Of course everyone is invited to use 0.7.1-1. It shouldn't cause any trouble.
