kcheckgmail 0.5.5 has been released to fix this. I haven't tried it yet, but there is a report that it still doesn't work.
kcheckgmail 0.5.5 is in portage now, give it a try.
Thanks. Seems to work for me so far.
closing.
Does it work with others DE/WM? I'm trying under fluxbox, it seems run fine, but don't show any notification nor new/unread mails. Everyelse work's, i've got it beautifully in the systray, but no matter how unread/new emails have it shows nothing. A single click open gmail login page asking my username/pass. Does the autentication mechanism still broken or there is a missing kde dependency? Fluxbox 0.9.14-gentoo-r1 Qt: 3.3.4 KDE: 3.5.0 (i don't have kde installed, just a bunch of kde apps) KCheckGmail: 0.5.5 Is there any way to make kcheckgmail output verbose?
oh! Please forgive my n00bish skills! I've found it: revertex@genesis ~ $ kcheckgmail --login "Gmail has been upgraded since this version of KCheckGmail was released. This may cause all sort of strange errors. Please check for an upgrade to KCheckGmail soon." It seems there's no gmail notification that work's under linux, maybe gmail notification under wine will be my last resort. My apologies for waste their time.
kcheckgmail 0.5.5 is working fine here still, using KDE.
