[maemo-developers] Beware "Personal launcher"

[From: Eero Tamminen]

Hi,

Just noticed that "Personal launcher" applet (latest v0.6-4 in extras)
leaks like mad and updates the screen uselessly at high frequency.

Because it's an applet within the Desktop process which allocations are
guaranteed, it will cause device to run out of memory very soon.  Result
is that other applications start aborting and device will slow down to
crawl.  Constant screen updates (even when screen is blanked) drain
the battery.

Could this be kicked out of extras so that people don't "launch" their
devices to oblivion?
