That 5 days of battery life sounds sexy! I did a little thread search for info about "Mathan's Hildon-Desktop Fix" but this thread keeps popping up. What does it do?

it is not mathan's fix, but the fix is in his version of hildon-desktop. I think it is pretty saveto just install his version in PR1.3.
I noticed this fact minutes after upgrading to pr 1.3 and reinstalled my own build of hildon-desktop right away. The pr1.3 version is just a few updates behind on he latest git updates and unfortunately does not have the 'invisible bouncing' fix.

That fix keeps hildon-desktop CPU usage low. Without it, on my N900 it stays at 4%-5%, reducing battery life from 1/3 to 2/3 (guestimate).
Now, in order to achieve 5 days, you must do some sacrifices. In my case:
- I have only two desktop widgets: weather and calendar (only calendar on my default desktop)
- No python-based daemons (not sure if it helps) installed
- No customizations to N900 menus (except for flashlight)
- No 3G (GSM only configuration - blame this on my current plan)
- No cellular data transfer (blame it also on my messed up carrier)
- Just a few calls a day
- Just a few minutes of email, internet browsing, witter a day
I'm not found on any of those "sacrifices", but I've just observed that was what makes the battery last longer.
I just wish the N900 had a monster battery in order to keep it always connected and working for a long time.

(...) and I don't mind getting a fix for the "Hildon Desktop Clogging/Battery Drain." issue. I like speed and efficiency. That's what pulled me to this thread! Need help figure out what's the best " Custom Hildon Desktop Mod" to choose from and how to do it. Thanks!
