    gDesklets how to get it working?



    Howdy folx,

    I've installed Fluxbox as my new WM and it works perfectly.
    I found some screenshots of ppl using gDesklets.
    I've installed the gDesklet RPM using apt.
    Downloaded the clock and the how to get it working here
    But somehow I don't get it to work.
    I've also downloaded the gDeskCal, that on works if I execute the included gdeskcal script.

    I'm not logged in as root, but as a regular user.

    Anyone who can guide me through ?

    Update: ...
    argh...: gdesklets-0.26.2-1.1.fc2.dag found in the RPM.
    Let's get it updated to 0.30.

    Where did you get the clock? How are you trying to run it? What "sometimes doesn't work"?

    gDesklets & extra's

    The Clock

    The callendar works if you execute it with the supplied script.
    But if I try to run: gdesklets gdeskcal, my desktops stays blank.
    Same problem when using the clock.

    You have to execute this:

    Code:
    gdesklets /usr/share/desklets/Sensors/whatever.desklet
    I think...been a while since I've run gDesklets.

    Tried it, didn't work.

    But I found out that I was using 0.26 instead of 0.30
    Maybe that could be the problem

    Building a custom RPM for FC1 and FC2.
