gdesklets seems to be having some python problems with python 2.3 and pygtk, gnome-python, etc libs 2.0.0 (vs. the older ones). Upon startup I get this: mduckworth@pikachu mduckworth $ gdesklets You need a recent version of PyGTK to run this program. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/gdesklets", line 4, in ? from main import HOME File "/usr/share/gdesklets/main/__init__.py", line 51, in ? import gnome.ui ImportError: No module named gnome.ui I have at least one plugin emerged as well, followed directions closely, etc. In addition, re-emerging supporting libs like pyorbit or pygtk changes the error message in random ways, but it never fails to give me an error and not work - at all. Note this has been reproduced on two separate systems, both gentoo ~x86 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gdesklets-core 2. emerge desklet-weather 3. gdesklets Actual Results: Program crashed instead of running, see above output Expected Results: Ran and displayed at least something.

How fun. Did you remember to run /usr/portage/dev-lang/python/files/python-updater ?? if so, re-emerge pygtk and see.
If you're missing /usr/lib/python<ver>/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gnome/ui.so then it's a really case of gnome-python being messed up somehow, rather than a gdesklets specific bug. (That is if python-2.3 handles the modules the same way as 2.2 - I'm not sure on that.. where's liquidx).
Okay you guys were right about the python-update. I don't know that much about python else I wouldn't have missed that script on the update (when you have 60 updates it's hard sometimes to catch the messages ;-) ). On a related note, now that things are installed I'd say about 75% of desklets aren't working and say that $deskletname could not be configured properly, and recommends removal of that desklet. The desklet does not show and a gray rectangle shows in its place. Ones I'm interested that aren't working for me in particular is desklet-goodweather. Any suggestions?
Hi Mark, Could you please emerge -C gdesklets-core and any of your desklet-*'s installed, and remerge them ? Might be an upgrading issue, I'm not sure if python-updater catches all of them. Thanks.
Problem solved, thanks :)
Would be invalid but the python-updater seems to not catch the desklets (I don't really know how it works atm), so we did actually fix something.
