I've dual monitor config. I thought dual monitor xorg affected this bug. (There was several similar bug because of dual mon conf). I changed to single monitor, but gDesklet has the same problem.

You will probably get better results by compiling your own. Additionally, you will get some bugfixes by upgrading to 0.36.2: http://www.gdesklets.info/archive/gDesklets/index.html

This bug has been fixed in rev. #118 (2009-05-12) of the gDesklets 0.3x branch here at launchpad (https://launchpad.net/gdesklets/0.3x).
It has been released with gDesklets 0.36.2(-rc1).
Furthermore it looks - more or less - like a duplicate of bug #344079.
