Does it really need to install all this crap just for gDesklets? its rather...rediculous if you ask me....

Well... it is exclusively for the Gnome desktop, so why would you be surprised that it'll emerge almost all of gnome 2.4 ?
My problems are waaay bigger 
I successfully emerge all that stuff, but now whenever I want to open a desklet .display, it just opens the friggin XML file in nautilus!
aaargh bollocks! |

i guess ill suck it up and give it a go, i used gdesklets back on my gnome days but it was a tad glitchy at the time. Friends been using it seems better i guess now.

have you tried using the 'open with' menu option in nautilus. by default it doesnt associate the displays with gdesklets.

Or go to a shell and type:
| Code: | | gdesklets /path/to/file.display |

i am bumping this to ask the same question.
i dont see nautilus as a requirement on their website.
it appears gnome-python is the culpret.. that thing sets a ton of stuff for emerge.

Yes, I have... 2 comments:
1. Its STUPID - why doesn't it register its OWN extension ?
2. It refuses to run an arbitrary file for the extension right then and there...
I have to go through all the trouble to first associate something with it (requiring another screen), and then point it to all the right places..
STOOPID - ferchrissakes, even WindBlows gets THAT one right! |
