check to see if adesklets is running: $ ps x | grep adesklets for me, this shows: 8377 pts/9 S 0:00 adesklets /home/.../.desklets/Calendar-0.5.3/Calendar.py 8378 pts/9 S 0:00 adesklets /home/.../.desklets/yab-0.0.2/yab.py 8381 pts/9 S 0:00 adesklets /home/.../.desklets/weatherforecast-0.2.0/weatherforecast.py 8629 pts/8 S+ 0:00 grep --colour=auto adesklets (I have installed each of my desklets into a subdirectory of ~/.desklets) if adesklets is not running, it probably crashed when it tried to load the Calendar desklet. This usually happens as a result of a syntax error in the config.txt file for the applet, or if there is a python library the applet wants to use, but can't find. To get a bit of debug information, try running ./Calendar.py again, but answering "t" when it asks if you want to register or test. (hopefully this will point you in the right direction) If it complains about not being able to find a file, it may be that you need to emerge a python module that the applet is counting on. As a side note, if you haven't already enabled the "ctrlmenu" use flag for adesklets, I recommend it, since it makes right clicking on the desktop work properly in fluxbox, while still being able to access the desklet's menu by ctrl-right-clicking on the applet. Good luck :) -nkm -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
