i think i've found the problem. could someone approve this?
to make it run, please change gdesklets/sensor/Sensor.py in this way:

   #
    # Adds and runs a new thread.
    #
    def _add_thread(self, threadfunction, *args):

        gtk.threads_init()       <== ADD THIS LINE

        # the thread should not start before setup is complete, therefore
        # we are using the GTK idle handler
        def run_thread(threadfunction, args):
            thread.start_new_thread(threadfunction, args)

        gtk.idle_add(run_thread, threadfunction, args)
