everything but the 0.30 version didn't work for me.. to merge this version you need to rename the ebuild or build it by hand. this is how to use portage for this:

if you already have a working portdir overlay you can skip this, or if you don't want to create an overlay.
Code:
mkdir -p /usr/local/portage_overlay/own/gnome-extra/gdesklets-core
cp /usr/portage/gnome-extra/gdesklets-core/gdesklets-core-0.26.2.ebuild /usr/local/portage_overlay/own/gnome-extra/gdesklets-core/gdesklets-core-0.30.ebuild
add: PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage_overlay/own" to make.conf


now you should have an working portdie overlay. put every ebuild you made yourself in this overlay and emerge sync won't delete these files.

now do an
Code:
emerge gdesklets-core --fetchonly
and the necessary file should be brought to you. now you need the gentoolkit. if you don't have it, merge it.
Code:
emerge gentoolkit
now:
Code:
cd /usr/local/portage_overlay/own/gnome-extra/gdesklets-core
ebuild gdesklets-core-0.30.ebuild digest
emerge gdesklets-core


that should done the trick and brings you the latest gdesklets-core. to start gdesklets you need to start the desklets server:
Code:
gdesklets start
now you can add desklets with
Code:
gdesklets open /path/to/display/somewhat.display


for me, every display you add and every change you do to the displays, the server crashes. keep an open terminal to manual restart the server everytime. the changes you make will be stored fortunately. if you need to edit text (i.e. type in a pop-server or such things) write it somewhere else and copy and paste it to the deklet text box.. sure, it's annoying, but if you done with it everything works nice, at least for me it does.

I also have gdesklets working smoothly

http://cc.usu.edu/~kena/snapshot1.png

I installed it by adding the keyword amd64 to each ebuild that desklet-psiextras required. Then all I did was:

Code:
emerge desklet-psiextras

I have tried ver0.26 and ver3.0,but all failed.

well..I'm using FVWM + gnome2.8.0, I tried emerge gdesklets-core,
it have no errors,and I emerged desklet-sysinfo,also with no errors.
then I do
$gdesklets start
it gives me so much errors,and I can't remember the errors,tonight I will post the errors.


So I want to try ver0.3.
I download source package,configure,make,make install,it does well.
then I do
$gdesklets start ---looks well
$gdesklets open /path/of/display/sysinfo.display
errors.
http://www.linuxsir.org/bbs/attachment.php?s=&postid=883845

then I update gnome-python
$gdesklets open /path/of/display/sysinfo.display
It tells me that occurs a unexcept error.

Using Gnome 2.8, only gdesklet 0.30 would work. I took the ebuild here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60282

The console is not working but the rest is working fine. List of those running here :
Code:
[xtof@axp] gdesklets list
/usr/share/gdesklets/Displays/lmsensors/lmsensors-Psi-temp.display
/usr/share/gdesklets/Displays/desklet-psidisplays/info2.display
/usr/share/gdesklets/Displays/desklet-psidisplays/diskinfo.display
/usr/share/gdesklets/Displays/desklet-psidisplays/diskinfo.display
/usr/share/gdesklets/Displays/desklet-psidisplays/border-bottom-right.display
/usr/share/gdesklets/Displays/desklet-psidisplays/meminfo.display
/usr/share/gdesklets/Displays/Rhythmlet/rhythmlet.display

Had to add those to /etc/portage/packages.keywords
Code:
# Gdesklets
=gnome-extra/gdesklets-core-0.30 ~amd64
=x11-plugins/desklet-psisensors-20040420 ~amd64
=x11-plugins/desklet-psidisplays-20040420 ~amd64
=x11-plugins/desklet-psiextras-0.1 ~amd64
# Psi-Rhythmlet
=x11-plugins/desklet-rhythmlet-0.3g ~amd64
=dev-python/soappy-0.11.3 ~amd64
=dev-python/fpconst-0.6.0 ~amd64

There may be more dependencies/keywords to set depending your config

thank you all! :D
I have resolved the problem.

I add USE="gtkhtml" and reemerge the package gnome-python
and then download the gdesklets-3.0,install follow the README.
and it works well.
