adesklets problem launching desklets

Hi everyone,

I just installed adesklets and the calendar desklet and ran into a problem to get the whole thing running (I am member of the adesklets group).

When I try to start /usr/share/adesklets/Calendar/Calendar.py and answer the question "Do you want to (r)egister this desklet or to (t)est it?" with "t" the top left corner of my screen flickers for a second but nothing happens. If I then kill the process via CTRL-C I get the following output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/adesklets/Calendar/Calendar.py", line 706, in <module>
    Events(dirname(__file__)).pause()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/adesklets/events_handler.py", line 228, in pause
    posix_signal.pause()

The same happens with the SystemMonitor desklet.

I know pause() is provided by the "signal" module of python, is anything wrong with my python install here?

Thanks in advance for any hint
