Anyone got a fix for this yet? I have the same issue.

I had all required RPMs installed first. They include gnome-python2-gconf, python, python-devel, GConf2, GConf2-devel, GConf, GConf-devel (just in case), gnome-python2, libgtop2, libgtop2-devel, librsvg2, and librsvg2-devel.

Then, got the tarball and a patch from the Debian's unstable site:

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/gnome/gdesklets

and applied the patch (e.g., patch -p0<....). Compilation was done as usual (e.g., configure --prefix=/usr; make; and next as su, make install).

Well, I still do see

(gDesklets Shell:6392): GConf-CRITICAL **: file gconf-client.c: line 547 (gconf_client_add_dir): assertion `gconf_valid_key (dirname, NULL)' failed
/usr/share/gdesklets/shell/BookmarkList.py:19: DeprecationWarning: use gtk.ComboBox
  self.__optmenu = gtk.OptionMenu()

But gdekslets runs great.

It install's without problems. The daemon starts without errors. But when i run "gdesklets shell" i get this error/output:
"(gDesklets Shell:3636): GConf-CRITICAL **: file gconf-client.c: line 547 (gconf_client_add_dir): assertion `gconf_valid_key (dirname, NULL)' failed
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named vfs

/usr/local/share/gdesklets/shell/BookmarkList.py:19: DeprecationWarning: use gtk.ComboBox
self.__optmenu = gtk.OptionMenu()
"

The shell runs, but i can't start a display, it allway's has error's like goodweather:
"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/share/gdesklets/factory/SensorFactory.py", line 83, in create_sensor
sensor = module.new_sensor(args)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'new_sensor'
"

I'm running a fully updated FC3. And sorry for my crappy english, i'm from the netherlands. .

I think GDesklet is integrated in Gnome 2.8.x. Right click on the panel to check out.

Hi everybody!

My first posting in this forum....

Thx for this really good how-to!!

At first I had the same

"(gDesklets Shell:3636): GConf-CRITICAL **: file gconf-client.c: line 547 (gconf_client_add_dir): assertion `gconf_valid_key (dirname, NULL)' failed

problem like some of you.

Then I restarted and now I was able to get the daemon started (Acc->gdesklets)
BUT error when I want to manage them:
Here's gDesklets log
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/share/gdesklets/plugin/PluginRegistry.py", line 59, in
__scan_repository
module = __import__(f)
File "./URI/__init__.py", line 4, in ?
import gnome.vfs as vfs
ImportError: No module named vfs

next I found (in a german board)
* Python bindings for gnome-vfs (usually called gnome-python2-gnomevfs)

now it WORKS!

EDIT: it works, if i start gdesklets BEFORE i run a xdsl/adsl dialin script... (my isp is inode.at)

I see a lot of error with the message:
No module named vfs;
matbe it's a good idea installing this module (clever), to do this use yum:

su
yum install gnome-vfs

Kepp me up-to-date if this work, greetingzzz

[scio.at]

thx for answering, but did you read it to the end?

i am able to use gDesklets, but i cant start it, while my internet connection is up (adsl dialin script)

bye

Artemis -- Hallo. Groetje uit Amerika. Hoe maakt u het? Waar leeft u? Mijn tanteleven in Eindhoven. And, because your English is light-years better than my dutch, I'm switching back to english.

I'm hoping you can help me. I've got gDesklets running and several displays working thanks to your excellent instructions. I am trying to get CornerXMMS running. I have installed almost every library and devel-library I can think of or can find in long searches. I have installed pyXMMS, XMMS, pyXMMS-remote. When I try to run the display, I get the following in the log.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hope you can help. Dank u wel.

hehehe, your dutch is just great . Eindhoven is a nice place to be. But I'm sorry to disappoint you with your nonworking gDesklet display, I tried that xmms display before but even I wasn't been able to get it working.

I hope I can help you now, after some googling I figured out that you need a command-line utility that will control xmms for the python interface. This module (PyXMMS) will be used by the display. Here's a link for the module and keep me up-to-date, will you?

xmms was solved earlier on the forum, check the link for a post of Jimbobbob, something about changing the prefix:

Thanks, Artemis. I have gotten Corner XMMS to load. Now if only it would control XMMS... LOL...

I think there should be a core 3 rpm for this software

I installed gDesklets from the tarball, but every time I launch a desklet, I get the following error output:
