[Slideshow] SlideshowScreenlet.py crashed with IOError in connect()

[Massimo]

Binary package hint: screenlets

Apport return a SlideShow screenlet problem. That at every start of the system, but the application is still functioning, as far as I can see. The Slideshow is set on Flickr. Maybe some network-related problem?

Thanks for your report, I've forwarded it to the developers of the software.

Did you have connectivity issues when this crash appeared? What URL did you enter in the options of the screenlet?

Well, when the error pops out the system has freshly started, but the network connection is ok at that time, at least it seems so. I will try to find if the error comes out on temporary network failure, or some timeout on startup procedure. I haven't found trace on system registry.
At this time the problem has appeared a couple of times, slightly after an annoying screen saver problem.
The URL in the options of the screenlet is:
