If you read the docs in the archive for any given display, it explains this. You need to install the 'sensor' first. For example, from the 'clock' package: "Displays (desktop applets) don't have to be installed to be used. You may run them where they are (you decide where you collect your displays). Sensors, however, have to be installed before displays can use them. If a required sensor is not installed, then 'gDesklets' will complain that it couldn't find the sensor. You just have to run the sensor installer in order to install a sensor." Look for a file called 'install-thing-sensor.bin' and run it. An easier method, though, for at least the clock display, is to install from urpmi: urpmi gdesklets-clock -- JoeHill RLU #282046 / www.orderinchaos.org Kernel 2.4.22-21.tmb.1mdk Mandrake Linux release 9.2 (FiveStar) for i586 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 21:19:54 up 4 days, 7:47, 8 users, load average: 0.30, 0.11, 0.03 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways.
