Re: [gDesklets] 0.36.3 leaking memory?!

[Ronny Lorenz <raumzeit gmx net>]

here is what I did:

in bash:

export PYTHON=python2
cd gdesklets-0.36.3 #go to sources dir

sed -i 's/python -c/$PYTHON -c/' configure
sed -i 's/python/python2/' shell/plugins/PackageInstaller/__init__.py

./configure --disable-static PYTHON=python2

make;make install

after that i was happily able to compile from distributed 0.36.3 sources 
without any problems.
Actually i also passed --prefix to ./configure script but this doesn't 
matter ;)

I found these changes to be applied in the gdesklets AUR repo for 
ArchLinux [ just to not run into any plagiarism issues ;) ]

greetings

ronny
