gDesklets segfaults after fresh installation

[backenfutter]

kernel: [ 3065.490061] python[10416]: segfault at 6379 rip 7f808cc4989c rsp 7fff95ed4740 error 4

I first noted the bug yesterday(Aug-06-2008) and even got some error output in the terminal, however I don't seem to be able to reproduce that... all I get today when starting in terminal is the following:
{
gdesklets
gdesklets-daemon wird gestartet …
Verbinden mit Daemon [ ### ]/usr/lib/gdesklets/utils/wallpaper.py:11: GtkWarning: Im Modulpfad »aurora« konnte keine Themen-Engine gefunden werden,
  tiling = Tiling()
Verbindung mit dem Daemon kann nicht hergestellt werden: Wartezeit abgelaufen!
Die Protokolldatei könnte Ihnen bei der Behebung des Problems behilflich sein.
}

Here my translation for you in english:
{
gdesklets
gdesklets-daemon is starting …
Connecting to Daemon [ ### ]/usr/lib/gdesklets/utils/wallpaper.py:11: GtkWarning: Can't find theme engine in the module directory »aurora«,
  tiling = Tiling()
Cannot establish connection with the daemon: Waiting period expired
The protocol file may help you solve the problem.
}

Well, I can't find a protocol file anywhere... syslog just shows the line above (first line).

Well, that's about it... hope you can find out what's wrong with that, since I really would like to use some desklets...

If you need any more information on the bug or my hardwar/software specifications, hit me up with an email,

greetings

OK, I finally was able to reproduce the error output in the terminal, it is as follows:

gdesklets

NOTE:
It is only possible to get this error once per boot. If you try and start gdesklets again you get the error as shown in the original bugreport... don't know if it matters, just wanted to let you know.

hello?

Hello!

I really have no clue where this "aurora" thing is coming from. Obviously the tiling module (or wallpaper.py) is looking for it, but there is no reason why it should be doing so.
A simple "grep -r aurora *" in the gDesklets (code) directory doesn't show up anything...
