you mean download and unpack each control _as well as_ each desklet that
I want to use?  That seems a bit redundant - shouldn't the desklet
contain and install the controls that it needs?

I tried copying the unpacked control for Desklet-0.02 into
~/.gdesklets/Controls but gdesklets said

Warning: "/home/iain/.gdesklets/Controls/Desklet" is an invalid control.

All my desklets still come up with errors when I try to use them.  Here
are the errors from the Desklets Desklet.  Each separated section
appears in it's own dialog box.

could it be some python problem?  What versions are others running?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks,
