Why would an application like ApMeFo drain battery? The only thing it does is modify a hildon.menu file inside your home directory.

EDIT: After researching a little I noticed that ApMeFo and some other applications hit bug #10412:

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10412

But they already fixed it back in August.

Since hildon-desktop is OpenSource all I needed to do was to download the source code and recompiled it. I also had to install libmatchbox2 but it wasn't a big deal.

Now it seems hildon-desktop doesn't go to 5% CPU usage like before after you open some folders in the applications menu. I would have to use it a long time to see if the bug is really fixed but it seems so far so good.
