Hey, I just got this running on my box. Nice work man, it's very sleek!

alright, i've got a problem with it

there's a bad memory leak somewhere. if i keep the folding@home adesklet running for 24 hours it eats up over 900 megabytes of system ram and grinds things to a halt

if i close it (leaving my other desklets running), system memory frees back up to normal levels.

because of this, i can't really use the monitor. do you have any idea what could be causing memory leakage?

I'm getting a weird error that I cant understand.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./fah.py", line 233, in ?
Events(dirname(__file__)).pause()
File "./fah.py", line 101, in __init__
adesklets.Events_handler.__init__(self)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/adesklets/events_handler.py", line 158, in __init__
self._alarm()
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/adesklets/events_handler.py", line 296, in _alarm
timeout=self.alarm()

data = self._update()
File "./fah.py", line 225, in _update
data = {'name' : re.findall('Name\: (\w+)', split[2])[0],
IndexError: list index out of range

The line numbers are a little off because i was printing some of the variables just to make sure they're working propperly. So for example, I was able to 'print re.findall('Name\: (\w+)', split[2])[0]' and get an expected value. But for some reason, the list 'data' doesn't like values added to it? Even though, i believe the '{}' indicates a dictionary. So yeah, i have no idea what is going on.
