Some sensors (e.g. the LTVCpu sensor from the LTCandy package) access
the GUI from within a thread. That is a very _bad_ thing and gDesklets
crashes.
It worked on most systems in earlier versions because gDesklets didn't
initialize threads properly before 0.25.

It is now up to the sensor authors to fix their sensors.
