Ubuntu Hardy heron 8.04 amd64
$ apt-cache policy screenlets

I think the gmail screenlet password field is problematic with some characters,
probably the slash "/" character.
1. Install screenlets / Launch the gmail screenlet
2. Right-click on gmail screenlet > Properties > Options > gmail
3. Type in your details, and test it with a password that contains the "/"
character, i.e: We1rd/PASS
4. Press the Apply buttons.
5. The gmail screenlet will probably work well and update. Close gmail
screenlet properties, and reopen it, head to Options > gmail again.
6. The select password appears in weird "box with an X" characters (here
referred as "[X]"), try to clear the password field.
I couldn't clear the password field, a part with [X][X]3 would remain, I
couldn't delete it.
The problem goes away when you type anything in the password, hit apply,
close the properties window, reopen it once more, head back to options >
gmail, now you can clear the password field.
