A few wierd things happening after rooting

I finally rooted and flashed 2.0.3 with SMUpdate. I am (supposedly) OC'd at 800mhz with setCPU. I am using 2.1 launcher as my home. For some reason, beautiful widgets is not fully functional anymore. I have the old HTC flipclock version. The weather and calendar lauchers both still work fine, but the clock laucher is broken after flashing. I used to be able to tap the clock and go to the clock/alarms app, but now it doesn't do anything. I have tried reinstalling my backed up BW app but it doesn't work. I am also getting very fequent force closes with it. Anyone having these issues? I wish I could run Intuit's flipclock with BW's weather. That would be nice.

Also, the only problem I have with the 2.1 laucher is when in landscape, the on screen home icon is in the way and doesn't work. I'm sure this has been discussed, but is there anyway to remove it (the home icon) from the landscape mode or altogether. It works fine in portrait, but I don't really need it with the dedicated home button. Another thing that I dislike is how the app titles wrap in the laucher. Some wrap fine, but some are randomly split up. For example: Yellowbook is Yellowboo (k on 2nd line), Audio Toggle is Audio Toggl (e on 2nd line). They should just fade out if they are too long like they do on the home screens IMO. That being said, I know there there have been issues with the laucher, and these are minor. I haven't had any FC's with it yet.

Lastly, I had one complete freeze up where I had to pull the batt. I think it was due to having it OC'd at 1ghz (tring it out). Hopefully it was not ROM related and won't happen again.

Sorry for the long a$$ post.
