I have a launcher app that is attempting to add widgets. Most work fine, but if you have a configure screen, the widget is never added. The launcher calls

REQUEST_PICK_APPWIDGET = 9
Intent pickIntent = new Intent(AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_PICK);
pickIntent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetId);
startActivityForResult(pickIntent, REQUEST_PICK_APPWIDGET);

and the configure activity is launched, but as its coming up i see this in the lolcat

W/WindowManager( 2096): Rebuild removed 7 windows but added 6
    W/WindowManager( 2096): This window was lost: Window{42abf130 com.android.settings/com.android.settings.AppWidgetPickActivity paused=false}

The configure finishes and nothing happens because the appwidgetpicker is already dead.

The launcher never actually crashes, theres never anything bad that happens, just nothing happens. Its not the app itself that is crashing, its the systemappwindgetpicker afaik.
