sixwheeledbeast,
what alarmclock are you referring to? I guess the stock clock or replacement clock?
Keep in mind these are only temporary interfaces to control alarmed. They play no role to the actual alarming. It could have more impact if you leave these applications running, but I guess that is not the case.

I do realise that but wondering if they are causing a corrupt file somewhere.
Had a look in var/cache/alarmed/alarm_queue.ini
Had about 14 alarms that I wasn't using, cleared with the clock app.
Oddly I have just realised I had an active alarm but no bell symbol in the statusbar. I didn't even realise the statusbar had a symbol for an active alarm. I have had an alarm at 7:55 every morning for years with no symbol only removing and recreating the alarm has made it appear.
Are there any other files or things that I could reinstall or check?

But it's been overwritten somehow, it seems exactly the same as the alarm_queue.ini file now.
Wish I'd copied it to the SD card now.
Here they are if it helps.
Although I have figured out the status symbol thing.
It seems if you make an alarm in alarmed application the item is added to the alarm_queue.ini but the statusbar symbol isn't shown.
It's not displayed even if you edit the event in worldclock.
Also all this playing with my alarms has caused the bug to reappear within 12 hours of my last killall h-home.
This is very unusual, it normally takes a couple of days to pop up again.

.
Your last remark is not valid for the replacement clock. After editing it will add this flag.

Since the last CSSU-update my desktop is freezing once a day. The only choice is to reboot. Till the last CSSU-update this happened every five or six months, only.

I believe killall hildon-xyz is not advised for general use.
Reboot is the best way to bring back cleanly.
Most of the time my third party widgets used to come back of there own accord anyway.
@Acurus_ I think the best way is to find a solution to your freezes on another thread, this is not normal. You will have to provide more information tho.
Running killall hildon-desktop is not recommended, since hildon-desktop does not come back in a 100% clean state.

sixwheeeledbast, you are/were right.
I experienced also ages ago problems when having hildon-desktop killed a few times. But since I run my scripts (link few posts above) I never experienced any problems after having h_desktop restarted. Maybe it is because it is restarted while screen locked or because of PR1.3? I have no clue, but for me killing h-desktop is no problem anymore. And h-home I do a tenth times per day caused by my SIM switching and also no probs at all. What kind of "unclean state" you refer to?
AND:
let us not mix up these two things.
hildon-home problem (freezing) and hildon-desktop problem (cpu high/battery drain)!
But it seems sixwheeeledbeast suffers both probs combined.

2 days 17 hours later hildon-home bug is back, however I have some more information.
I woke up early this morning and was checking up on my TMO active topics for about 40 minutes.
My alarm clock went off and it acted really slow to silence.
Then "hildon-home not responding" checked top and low and behold it's back. Had to killall h-d to get any response back.
I am thinking is maybe connected to alarmed or my alarm clock, will do some more testing.
