  After reading this, I see I have the same problem.  If I am logged in
to gdesklets, I see my submission fine.  If I logout, it is hidden.  I
looked through the submission properties and I don't see anything
obvious to toggle visibility.  Maybe this is a bug in gdesklets website.

I'm not sure.  I installed it on 2 different boxes from the gdesklets
website and it worked okay. I'm still building my troubleshooting skills
on these :) One thing I did notice is that I included the pyc files in
the archive.  I'm just now becoming familiar with how python works.  If
I understand right these are some kind of byte code compiled files.
Maybe this can cause issues.  Could you try deleting all the pyc files
out of your ~/.gdesklets/Controls/ImageSlideShow/ directory and see if
that fixes it?  That is my only guess at the moment, but will tinker to
see if anything else comes to light.
