To make gdesklets work,
set:
PYTHONPATH="/opt/garnome/lib/python2.3/site-packages:/opt/garnome/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0"
Follow up:
fix the GARNOME README
Discussion
----------
I was "surprised" to find that gdesklets was "broken". After reading
the actual python script I ran
% gdesklets check
which provided yet another surprise
GNOME python bindings (gnome-python2) version >= 2.6.0 are
"required."
Hmmm... GARNOME-2.10.1 installs version 2.10.0 so what is the problem?
Answer: the PYTHON search patch.
My garnome-session script, which was taken directly from the GARNOME
README, sets
PYTHONPATH="/opt/garnome/lib/python2.3/site-packages"
Seems python-2.3.5 is not all that clever about searching the subfolders
of paths that are not rooted under /usr. [why is that???]
