Unfortunately the -k does not work for me.
(As dsmetool can only be run as run the start should be like dsmetool -t -U user "/usr/bin/hildon-status-menu", or?)

Also a normal killall xxx is not enough. It has to be a killall -sigkill xxx !?

After fiddling around a bit. dsmetool may work, but there two processes of /usr/bin/hildon-status-menu. One started from dsme-server and one from maemo-launcher.
I have no idea why there two occurences and why dsmetool -k nor killall does not bring down the status menu.

Furthermore after the first kill the restarted status-menu does not contain all items, so a second killall (but without -sigkill) is needed.

Anyone?
