please update from SVN and try again. I replaced g_timeout_add_seconds(s,)
with g_timeout_add(s*1000,) a few days ago.

g_timeout_add_seconds() only comes with newer (>2.14) versions of
libglib2.0 while g_timeout_add() is there in older versions. The only
difference is that g_timeout_add asks for the cycle time in milliseconds.
