If I leave my machine on when I go home from work, I will see dozens of these dialogs when I come back in the morning.  I had to stop gdm to regain control.
I can therefore not use this applet at all.
Comment 2 David Ayers 2011-08-19 10:06:28 UTC
I'm not sure but I believe this issue happens when the applet attempts to fetch when there is a issue with the network, i.e. the contents cannot be retrieved.
