Yes, I know what you mean..

As a 'workaround' I made it first close the app and then execute the killall command. In that way it doesn't get locked-up.

In the themes department did you check the other option provided?
like:
Code:
Nokia-N900:~# hildon-desktop -help

This is Matchbox Window Manager 2.

Usage: hildon-desktop [options]

Options:
  -display display      : X display to connect to (alternatively, display
                          can be specified using the DISPLAY environment
                          variable).
  -sm-client-id id      : Session id.
  -theme-always-reload  : Reload theme even if it matches the currently
                          loaded theme.
  -theme theme          : Load the specified theme
