Comment 4 for bug 83922

I'm using latest Feisty Fawn, all updates installed. And I have a i386 System, non the less I am experiencing nearly the same problem!
If started from console, I also get the Timeout message. But I have a log which says:

Log messages of /home/ben/.gdesklets/logs/gdesklets%3A0.0.log
/usr/lib/gdesklets/main/__init__.py:118: GtkDeprecationWarning: gtk.threads_init is deprecated, use gtk.gdk.threads_init inst

Version is 0.35.3-4ubuntu2

I tried dpkg --purge to uninstall it and reinstall it, so its not a config problem I guess.
