Re: Gdesklets Doesn't Connect to Daemon
Hi Mike,
I had the same problem. Its seems that this is a python bug because the
gdesklets daemon is always crashing with segmentation fault.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=339698
I have successfully put gdesklets to work again by doing an upgrade of
the following packages from sid:
python2.4 python2.4-gtk2 python2.4-gnome2 python2.4-xml gdesklets
Regards,
Jorge Custódio
