Bug#790578: gdesklets: depends on python-gnome2 which is deprecated
Source: gdesklets
Severity: important

Hi,
gdesklets depends on python-gnome2, which is long deprecated and
going to be removed from the archive. gdesklets should be ported away
from it.
The way forward is to port your app to use GObject Introspection
bindings.
For more information on GObject Introspection see [1] and [2].
Please try to do this before the Stretch release as we're going to
try to remove python-gnome2 this cycle.
If you have any question don't hesitate to ask.
Emilio
