It is impossible to launch the gnome deskbar applet without installing dev-python/gnome-desktop-python. I think it is related to the 2.24 version, I had no problem before. An error window appears when I add the applet to the gnome desktop. ~./xsession-errors gives no clear debug clues, but here is what I have when I launch /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet: ~ % /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet -w Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet", line 102, in <module> from deskbar.ui.DeskbarApplet import DeskbarApplet File "//usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deskbar/ui/DeskbarApplet.py", line 6, in <module> from deskbar.ui.AbstractCuemiacDeskbarIcon import AbstractCuemiacDeskbarIcon File "//usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deskbar/ui/AbstractCuemiacDeskbarIcon.py", line 1, in <module> from deskbar.core.CoreImpl import CoreImpl File "//usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deskbar/core/CoreImpl.py", line 6, in <module> import deskbar.interfaces.Match File "//usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deskbar/interfaces/__init__.py", line 3, in <module> from Match import Match File "//usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deskbar/interfaces/Match.py", line 1, in <module> from deskbar.core.Categories import CATEGORIES File "//usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deskbar/core/Categories.py", line 2, in <module> from deskbar.core.Utils import load_icon File "//usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deskbar/core/Utils.py", line 8, in <module> import gnomedesktop ImportError: No module named gnomedesktop The python module 'gnomedesktop' is part of dev-python/gnome-desktop-python. Everything works after installing it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add the deskbar applet to the gnome panel Actual Results: An error dialog says that an error occured Expected Results: The applet is added to the gnome panel
/me doesn't want to learn the difference between these: dev-python/gnome-desktop-python dev-python/gnome-python-desktop :)
I've added the missing dependency. Thanks!
