Eero, thanks for the quick reply. SU-18_2007HACKER_2.2006.47-17_PR_F5_MR0_ARM.bin was installed on the device. Not sure, if that was based on the latest release. I am not sure, if I disabled RSS, at least I did not customize it. Can I boot the device from an external image on the MMC card or provided by flasher to find out what the root cause of the problem is/was? Thanks for the explanation, why you hae a single process, causing the complete desktop to die when an applet has a problem.
