    N900 Email Widget

    Probably..This was in the instructions!!!!!



    Add the mail widget to desktop

    You can add the mail widget to the device desktop. The

    Widget shows if you have received mail, and displays the

    number of unread mail messages.

    tap the desktop, and select widget

    >Desktop menu > Add > E-mail.

    Hildon-Home program

    hildon-desktop is the 4 panel scrolling desktop (mainly) but it is also EVERY widget on the desktop.

    The widgets all run in one process.. so if you have a run away widget that is hogging CPU, it will more than likely show up as hildon-cpu

    killing it isn't usually a good thing.. removing widgets (particularly widgets that actively do stuff.. like the RSS feed thing... not passive widgets like web site links or contacts) might reduce the load.. and also identify what is misbehaving..

    main point though, no widget should be excessively using cpu.. that indicates something is wrong
