I have the exact same problem, I'm using LinuxMint Bianca, same as Ubuntu 6.10. gdesklets worked perfectly on my machine until 6 April 2007, there were updates installed by Synaptic on this date but I don't know if they are the cause of the problem! Upgraded the following packages: automatix2 (1.1-2.34-6.10edgy_i386) to 1.1-2.35-6.10edgy_i386 kdelibs-data (4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3.2) to 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3.3 kdelibs4c2a (4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3.2) to 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3.3
In a terminal window I get the following message when I try to start gdesklets Starting gdesklets-daemon... Cannot establish connection to daemon: timeout! The log file might help you solving the problem. The log file referred to says Log messages of /home/keith/.gdesklets/logs/gdesklets%3A0.0.log /usr/lib/gdesklets/main/__init__.py:118: GtkDeprecationWarning: gtk.threads_init is deprecated, use gtk.gdk.threads_init instead gtk.threads_init() ==========================================================[04/18/07-22:35:13]=== === Unhandled error!
