Re: [gDesklets] Candy bar?

[Paweł Żmuda <zaq lanet net pl>]

thanks a lot!
I installed Controls and Sensors and I have this error over and over
again. My Python knowledge is very poor, so I understand, I have to stop
trying to run candy-bar and will wait for better times :)

Do anyone know good (working) alternative for this stuff?

Greets, Paul
