Hmmm. On Ubuntu 8.04 I just dl'd, built and installed from source cairo-clock-0.3.4.tar.gz. When I try to run cairo-clock I get the error message: "You are not running under a composited desktop-environment (e.g. compiz). cairo-clock cannot work properly without one." (I also got an internal GTK error message from cairo-clock which suggested that this app is not GTK-correct.) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0 2.12.9 Not totally up-to-the-minute, but hardly ancient.
