How to add an account to StackApplet?

Question

I have recently installed StackApplet Install stackapplet and I want to add my account to it. However, I can't do so as I am unable to select a site properly. See this screenshot:

When I press on the option Site nothing appears. Instead, a blank dock appears displaying nothing. Clicking on the dock causes it to disappear.

there is a subsite dedicated to stack apps: http://stackapps.com/questions/83/stackapplet-bringing-stack-exchange-notifications-to-your-desktop-1-6-alpha-f — Rinzwind, Jun 17 '14 at 19:20

This is a bug that was fixed literally an hour ago. Assuming you are using the PPA as described in this question, you will need to simply wait a few hours for the new version to be published to the PPA.

The problem still resides in the code as I am writing this. A quick check shows the core of the problem you (and I) are experiencing: stackapplet is failing to authorize via the following URL:

http://stackauth.com/1.0/sites?key=_qlxmEAOH06hLA1_FsZIGQ&jsonp=jQuery1 … 4&_=1 …

The call results in a 404 - Not Found.

Until @nathan-osman (the author) fixes this, or someone else steps in to do the job, there is little hope in being able to use StackApplet.

For informational purposes, here’s a screenshot showing the 404…
