Part of the installation process for desklet-goodweather does something that queries $DISPLAY, and it apparently cannot handle values typical of an SSH session (e.g. "localhost:10.0"). The same package will emerge fine when "su -" is used instead of "ssh localhost -l root" (which happens to be my preferred root access method here on my laptop, since my ssh keys are my primary authentication tokens.) Note that normal X applications (e.g. xterm) work just fine for me under this setup.

N.B. This is likely a problem for all desklets; I just got the exact same problem with desklet-battery-0.3.
I can't confirm this bug currently - I'm logged in remotely and it worked as it should. Tested with DISPLAY set as its default and to "localhost:10.0". Can anybody verify this for non sensor-based desklets? Both goodweather and battery are sensor-based, deprecated, and being phased out. So unless this still occurs for the newer ones, this probably won't be fixed. What about newsgrab or clock, for example?
Clock seems to merge fine. Newsgrab and hypertail die on me during ebuild with sandbox violations, but that happens regardless of $DISPLAY.
Please see my comment in bug 90403 - note it there if you have more sandbox issues (as it is completely unrelated to this bug).
Has this issue been fixed? I think bug 95404 was related to this one and that seems to be fixed.
Seems to be fixed for good.
