My F10 netbook is using a wireless connection, so I too find that it displays
'Loading...', but after 30 minutes, at the refresh time, it does indeed
refresh. Maybe a bug report should suggest that it tries, say, 5 minutes
after a failure? But then, if it fails again, would it go on trying for ever,
every 5 minutes?
On my laptop it displays "Updating...", not "Loading...", and _never_
recovers. I tried changing the update interval to 1 minute, log out,
log back in, ... no change, never recovers, forever "Updating...".
