Wouldn't this approach the issue of getting rid of stale applications from the wrong direction ? How about applications maintaining persistent state and closing themselves whenever a basic task is done or when they're idle ? E.g., if you're writing an SMS, you proabably never want anything but a catastrophic failure to kill that application, and even then, you'd probably want it to resume where you left off when you recover. Just a thought. - Werner
