Re: [gDesklets] 0.36.3 leaking memory?!

[Ronny Lorenz <raumzeit gmx net>]

Thank you Bjoern,

I already tried to fix this yesterday. The problem was that I wasnt able 
to compile gdesklets from sources using python 2.7 but i found which 
changes I had to apply to the configure script and now it does.
gDesklets is now running with my changes applied, I will report back if 
it helped after i observed the behavior for some days of uptime

I hope it worked ;)
