Stackapplet does not find any site nor account

[Davide]

StackApplet Preferences does not find any account or site.

Initially I thought it was the same as #920770, but I think in that case the sites work, and adding a stackexchange user id works, while for me neither option is available.

This is also reported here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/484714/how-to-add-an-account-to-stack-applet but it says it's fixed in the latest version. I'm on 1.5.2-1 and experiencing the same problem.

Ubuntu 14.10
stackapplet 1.5.2-1
