Re: [gDesklets] Calendar help

Hi Joe,

I have some difficulties using your calendar display...

When it is loaded, it complains about the following:


year is out of range
/home/ronny/.gdesklets/Displays/Calendar/Calendar.display
  107     if (key == "ShowEvents"):
  108         Prefs.EventsEnumeration.enabled   = value
  109         if (not value):
  110             ical.uri = None
  111         else:
> 112             ical.uri = path + EventSetChoosed
  113         Prefs.EventColor.enabled          = value
  114         Prefs.EventInfoLabelColor.enabled = value
  115         Prefs.EventInfoLabelFont.enabled  = value
  116
  117     #
  118     # Reaction to change in selected events list

and then refuses to scroll through the months via mouse scroll wheel 
(this worked in an older version)

I got the display from launchpad (gdesklets-basic) and the control from 
the gdesklets.de homepage...

Do I need any different modified version of either the control or the 
display to get it working again?

greetings

Ronny
