All dependencies compiled fine, but I received the following error when
compiling gdesklet:

gdesklets-core-0.30_pre.ebuild

Emerging swig got rid of the compile errors above.  Added dev-lang/swig to
DEPEND.

How's this for stability and everything? I'm toying with the idea of putting it
in as I haven't had many problems? (of course putting 0.26.2 in first). Please
comment specifically.

Thanks.

I emerged gdesklets-core-0.30_pre ebuild on my system.

I have "kde gnome" in my USE flags *but* I only run KDE and have not emerged the whole GNOME desktop. Supposedly this should be fine as exposed in
http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7160

When I start gDesklets I get an icon in the KDE system tray.

Then I load a desklet with:

rcm@testa:~$> gdesklets open /usr/share/gdesklets/Displays/Clock/rafclock.display
ID: id108988298887L58263
rcm@testa:~$>

But nothing happens so I look at the log file in 
/home/rcm/.gdesklets/gdesklets\:0.0.log and I get:

<bound method Starter.__handle_set_remove_command of <main.Starter.Starter instance at 0x412264cc>>
<bound method Starter.__handle_set_startup_command of <main.Starter.Starter instance at 0x412264cc>>

exception [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/rcm/.gdesklets/Sensors'
PURGE
PURGE []
purging id108988259059L57464

From this I deduce that gDesklets is looking for the sensors at the wrong place which should be /usr/share/gdesklets/Sensors/

As I quick "fix" I do a

rcm@testa:~$> cp -r /usr/share/gdesklets/Sensors /home/rcm/.gdesklets/

I restart gDesklets and reopen /usr/share/gdesklets/Displays/Clock/rafclock.display

Now I get the following error in the log 

IDENT id108988298887L58263 /usr/share/gdesklets/Displays/Clock/rafclock.display
Error while configuring display: No module named gtkhtml2
PURGE
PURGE []

REMOVING id108988298887L58263

Then I look if I have gtkhtml installed, which I have not. In fact, I do not have the gtkhtml USE flag activated.

I then add "gtkhtml" USE flag and re-emerge gnome-python and now it works!!

So I think gnome-python MUST be emerged with gtkhtml support for gDesklets to work.

Question: how do we force emerging gnome-python with gtkhtml support even if the user has not set the gtkhtml flag?

We still have to fix the issue with gDesklets looking for sensors in the users home directory and not in /usr/share/gdesklets/ system-wide directory.
