Bug#323238: gDesklets will not start

[KRK]

OK, I feel silly.

I forgot that I had actually compiled gDesklets myself due to the Debian
version being out of date.  Oddly enough, it will compile just fine, but
when I un-installed, and got the apt version, two new dependencies (I
think python-xml was one) were installed.  So, now gDesklets runs just
fine.  I wonder if the source-code version is missing dependencies.

current :)

Thank you,
