Maybe you can install python2.5 and use Python 2.5 for gPodder? It
should work with python2.4, and I don't know if it makes any difference,
but you could try (I'm using Python 2.5 here, for example).

Should be recent enough.

Yeah, and you said when reverting to the version before the Maemo
changes you also see the same problems?

Please apply the enclosed patch to your SVN checkout (it disables the UI
status updates to the sync dialog) and try to reproduce the bug. I
suspect that maybe the faster UI updates in the MP3 player sync code
could cause this problem, but as I said, it's only a guess :)
