So far, so good...

Well, I would be glad to take a look at it and help, but I never get any
attachment on this mailing list...

AFAIK you need to restart gDesklets when you change anything within a
Control. But when the ID changes things tend to be more difficult.
Deleting the registry seemed to be something that always helped me when
working on Controls. But this might be a "dirty hack" to deal with the
problem.

If you find a way to send me the attachment (eMail or any PasteBin in
the web) I will be glad to take a look at it.
