It's not anymore refreshing/resizing itself constantly when larger
than screen (which with the redraw leak caused the issue and made it
easily to crash when it was disabled).  I.e. the main issue is solved.

The redraw leak is still there though.  It can be tested easily just
by running:
   mem-monitor-smaps -p $(pidof hildon-desktop|cut -d' ' -f1)

And dragging with stylus the bottom-right resize handle back and forth.

Resizing should normally happen fairly rarely though, so this isn't
as critical.


Btw. The setup application seems to throw some asserts when it's used:

 From setup startup:
personal-launcher-setup[10388]: GLIB CRITICAL ** GLib - g_strcasecmp: 
assertion `s1 != NULL' failed 


 From opening Settings dialog:
personal-launcher-setup[10388]: GLIB CRITICAL ** Gtk - 
gtk_box_pack_start: assertion `child->parent == NULL' failed
