Well, we (the gdesklets team) can't believe it either. We have released a fix a looong time ago (August 2007, see post #21). Ubuntu is still stuck on 0.36.1 even though we have released 0.36.2 in February 2010. There is not much we can do about it if there is nobody willing or able to build a new ubuntu package of gDesklets as right now it looks like all (active) member of the gdesklets team are running non-ubuntu linux systems. Finally, take a look at post #23 (September 2007, but still up-to-date :/ ): "Ubuntu ships a broken version, even in gutsy. DON'T USE IT! We recommend to use a fresh version from bzr." I would recomment to use the latest source package instead (at the moment this is 0.36.2 which can be found here: http://www.gdesklets.info/archive/gDesklets/ ) as the bzr version is a development version. Same for the gdesklets-data package. This is packed with lots of *very* old and non-working desklets. We have been complaining about it for a looong time, too. But it is still out there giving users a hard time. So again: DON'T USE IT! I know this is not helping, but I feel it needs to be said what is going wrong here (and why). We would be more than happy if there was a working or better (or any ?) gDesklets support in ubuntu. We would be more than happy to find someone to set up a PPA... Just my 5 cents ;).
