I would like to re-confirm this is a valid bug, I'm trying to find what is the mistake, meanwhile I did a very small experiment with 0.3x version and after 18 reloads, gdesklets is stealing 10M to the system, so this is not to bad :-) however even that we've got to fix it because what about if you've got 5 desklets with 4M each and you reload them several times? I think you already guess the answer.
