Due to this bug ussd-widget can't be made responsive.
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7809
So now I'll dscontnue it's development and when I'll have time I'll
1) Continue it if the bug will be fixed
2) Reimplement widget in C++ otherways
P.S. You can write a script, which will cutt off advertisement and specify it in "parser" settings.

I added configurable regexp option to this excellent widget.
It matches received data against user-provided regexp and returns first capturing parentheses data.
For example, for MTS Russia you have to provide
regexp to get only "Balance: 123,34" in a message window.
Regexp matching applied at the end of message processing chain.
I've attached both diff file (for developers) and complete modified /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/ussd-widget.py for those who want to try it.
Python regexp documentation can be found there.

I wasn't able to add widget from menu while starting it from command line worked fine.
Adding
as first import directive at the beginning of the file seems (as someone mentioned in this thread before) to solve the problem.
Adding
Code:
import gobject

The solution with gobject i/o Martin Grimme advised is working nice on tests (i.e. I can run other shortcuts during long call and interact with other widgets) when running both as standalone script and from hildon menu.
I'll post a patch this night after making my code more readable
P.S. Discussing with Andre Klapper is almost always useless so don't ever spend your time trying to explain him anything. Seems that he lives in parallel universe so trying to communicate with people in this reality is a hard task for him

Let me explain a bit about the kind of position Andre is in. Maemo has two separate bugtracking systems. The first is the public tracker you see at http://bugs.maemo.org, the second is the internal tracker that sits behind Nokia's firewall. Andre is very nearly the only connection between these two trackers. What this means is that it's his job to forward information back and forth between the two trackers.
Unfortunately this puts him between a rock and a hard place, as many people (apparently yourself included) interpret Nokia's positions and tone as his own. He's got a hard job, there's no need to make it more difficult by being unpleasant. A good attitude will get you far.

Currently the only option I see which can help to overloaded Andre "The-Only-Connection" Klapper is not to try discuss with him at all. His time is too precious for both sides.
May be community can do something more to fix it? Ask Nokia management to find more personnel for this job for example?

All times are GMT. The time now is 18:46.
Widget and ussd-pad work great (MegaFon - SPb, Russia).
Some notes and wishes for the widget:
1. Add option to close or hide message text. (I don't like to see advertising **** on the desktop all the time.)
2. May be to implement forced line breaks after 70-80 characters in the answer to view whole text on the desktop?
3. Correct "meaming" to "meaning" in the help text of the widget configuration dialog .
Thanks.
