1. I got gdesklets 0.36.1 working on Lucid (after upgrading) by applying the fix described here: http://forum.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=32554
or to avoid the jump: sudo cp /usr/lib/gdesklets/utils/ErrorFormatter.py /usr/lib/gdesklets/utils/ErrorFormatter.py.orig sudo vi /usr/lib/gdesklets/utils/ErrorFormatter.py # 09/08/09:per article=http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/409465-fix-gdesklets.html #def _new_imp(name, globs = {}, locls = {}, fromlist = []): def _new_imp(name, globs = {}, locls = {}, fromlist = [], test = []): 2. Starting $gdesklets shell then spews a warning, but still starts: /usr/lib/gdesklets/utils/ErrorFormatter.py:119: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead module = _old_imp(name, globs, locls, fromlist) 3. Also, Log messages show: /usr/lib/gdesklets/config/ConfigDialog.py:77: DeprecationWarning: Use the new widget gtk.Tooltip self.__tooltips = gtk.Tooltips() /usr/lib/gdesklets/config/ConfigDialog.py:78: DeprecationWarning: Use the new widget gtk.Tooltip self.__tooltips.enable() Hope this helps.
