$ gdesklets Starting gdesklets-daemon... Cannot establish connection to daemon: timeout! The log file might help you solving the problem. and the log file containing Log messages of /home/trch/.gdesklets/logs/gdesklets%3A0.0.log which is not useful... "gdesklets check" reports that the system is fine: Checking requirements: - sys ... found - xml.parsers.expat ... found - xml.sax ... found - gtk ... found - ORBit ... found - bonobo.ui ... found Requirements checking done.
