    "Removed threading code. Something has been causing many problems..."

What problems were caused by threading? Threading is used already for along time in Twitter and MailCheck, and recently I added it toFreemeteoWeather, EMHI, Slideshow, GoogleCalendar, LinuxEstoniaStats...I had threading problems only with MailCheck, but I think this is solvednow. With rest of the screenlets mentioned there seemed to be noproblems. Do you also have problems with other screenlets that includethreading? Could you please specify what problems occurred for you andwhat do you think could be the reason? Could it be an unstable Internetconnection, which causes threads halt? Or is there something not threadsafe used in the code?
