Are these patches applied to your github project or where can we find
the patches?

Sounds more or less as the latest status quo on this project.
No one on the team had a complete enough overview on the project and
moving on to  gtk+-3 is a "too big for just one or two person" job :/.

This is indeed a very good question!
There have been a few blueprints on gDesklets 0.4x with - as far as I
remember - seperating the ADL and GUI from gtk+, which would make it
possible to even have a Qt-based desklet. But I can't remember where to
find these blueprints.
Again: anything as far as I remember. It's been too long ago .
