this seems to be because python2.4-orbit is missing... --- snip --- gdesklets --help
You're running gDesklets for the first time. gDesklets will start a requirements check now... Checking requirements: - sys ... found - xml.parsers.expat ... found - xml.sax ... found - gtk ... found - ORBit ... found Version check failed. ORBit python bindings (pyorbit) version == 2.0.1 are required. Please make sure that the required software is installed. Also try to avoid having multiple versions of a library/binding on your system. gDesklets won't work if you don't have all necessary dependencies installed on your system. THE STARTUP WILL BE CANCELLED NOW! --- snip --- sudo apt-get install python2.4-orbit then re-running gdesklets seems make it work correctly. -- gdesklets hangs on launch from gnome menu. https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/5811 -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
