[gDesklets] Problems starting gDesklets 0.36.4_beta

[Ronny Lorenz <raumzeit gmx net>]

Hi all,

I have trouble starting the self-compiled beta of 0.36.4...
When I start gdesklets-daemon, I receive the following error:

~/.local/bin/gdesklets
  File "~/.local/bin/gdesklets", line 27
    print _("You must NOT run gDesklets as super user (root).")
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Somehow my python installation doesn't lile the underscore in front of 
("string")

Here is my configure script output:
