I alway get an error loading «OAFIID:Deskbar_Applet».
If this is of any help, this is the traceback:
nightshade@Plaguewielder:[/usr/portage]$ /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet -w
Traceback (most recent call last):

Pycairo 1.2.0 ebuild to solve the deskbar problem

This pycairo ebuild solves the problem of deskbar-applet. using cairo 1.2.0 and pycairo 1.0.2 is the cause of the problem.

[Comment 3 Fabio Battaglia 2006-07-03 07:18:44 UTC]

The problem is caused by an old pycairo version in portage (1.0.2), using 1.2.0 solves the problem.

[Comment 4 Fabio Battaglia 2006-07-04 08:26:55 UTC]

I reopen it, ad it is not really fixed. This could be A fix, but it needs to be in portage.

[Comment 5 Fabio Battaglia 2006-07-04 14:03:34 UTC]

ebuild added to the system
