Re: 2.13.90 fails on deskbar applet

[Thomas Buchanan <tbuchan utdallas edu>]

I ran into this same problem on my Gentoo box.  The following steps
worked around the problem for me.  YMMV.

Step 1: Get the following patch from GNOME CVS to configure.ac [1]:

Step 2: Replace the contents of files/pythonpath-fix.diff with the above
patch.

Step 3: Update the checksums by running "make makesum" in the
deskbar-applet directory

Step 4: Add the following three lines to the end of deskbar-applet/Makefile:
pre-configure:
        (cd $(WORKSRC); autoconf)
        $(MAKECOOKIE)

Step 5: Set up the PYTHONPATH variable in your environment.  You'll need
to replace "/home/garnome" with whatever path you use for $main_prefix.
 Also make sure that the python version in the path matches what you
have installed.  I did this in the same command I used to build (sorry 
if line gets wrapped):
PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/garnome/lib/python2.4/site-packages:/home/garnome/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0
make

Step 6: If all that works, run "make install"

Hope this helps you out.
