Status display wrong on Gmail Icon desktop gadget

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Which gadget does this problem concern?

Gmail Icon

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Account title bar displays "no connection", mail count displays "!"
2. Zoom to any smaller size and account title displays correctly
3. Right-click icon and select "Check mails" [sic] and display reverts to
"no connection" and "!", even though:
4. Clicking icon takes me to my Google Apps inbox (which contains 2514
messages!)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Clicking the counter also does nothing (should display preview of mail)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

2007 (I see no version number), running on Windows Vista Business.

Which version of Google Desktop are you running and which language version
of Google Desktop is installed?

Google Desktop 5.7.0712.18632-en-pb (English)

Please provide any additional information below.

I am having exactly the same problem.  It worked fine for several days, but now 
it 
says "no connection" "!" even though clicking the icon takes me directly to my 
gmail 
inbox.  Zooming in or out has no effect on the display.

I am running the 2007 version, on Windows XP, with Google Desktop 
5.1.0708.19688-en-
pb (English)

I really liked the notification icon, when it was working!

I think I got it. For some reason, when I undock it from the sidebar, it works. 
It 
still works when I redock it. However, when I check my inbox, it goes back to 
saying "no connection."
