weather and white screen of death

I have the weather applet installed on my device and I am
now getting the 
white screen of death on bootup. I cannot remove it and
apparently USB is 
also broken as a result of this so I cannot ssh in and
remove the package. 
Must I reflash or is there some way to get the applet off of
there without 
resorting to this?

Welcome to the club.

When I had the problem (only I had reboot loops, not WSOD --
you must've
disabled lifeguard resets) I managed to get into the desktop
by
performing random actions while the device was booting
(holding down
various keys, plugging and unplugging the USB cable).

It is entirely possible that my actions had nothing to do
with my
eventual success, and it's just that the weather applet
crashes
randomly, but not every time.

I know at least two other people who had this problem and
managed to fix
it without reflashing, so have hope.

Good luck,
Marius Gedminas
