I think it's still possible that hildon-desktop
python-loader doesn't work after it's insalled
until device (or hildon-desktop) is restarted.
I've seen similar reports related to other python
based widgets.

Since it happens only once it's hard to really
notice. Does any python developer know anything
about this?
