gdesklet not started both from command line and from gnome menu

I'd need more information. Have a look at ~/.gdesklets/log/.

Could not import tiling module!

I get the same problem, it shows:

Or maybe mine is different

The beta release can be downloaded now. Please test it. The best thing you
can do to help us, is to test it on a fresh system. Don't upgrade from an
earlier version. Thus, you can make sure no older libraries are installed on
your system. Thanks!

Gdesklets was working fine about a month or so ago. But since then it's simply stopped working. I've tried completely removing it and installing again, I even compiled and installed from a .tar.bz2 file. Nothing gives.

Whenever I open gdesklets an empty gdesklet window pops up and then disappears again.

When I run gdesklets from the terminal, this is what I get:

 maha@maha-dlu:~$ gdesklets
 Starting gdesklets-daemon...
 Cannot establish connection to daemon: connection timeout
 The log file might help in solving the problem.
