Bug Description

I get this error when I try to run gDesklets from a terminal:

      tp@spidersense:~$ gdesklets
            Starting gdesklets-daemon...
            Connecting to daemon [ ### ]
            ================================================== ========[04/14/10-12:45:43]===
            Could not import tiling module!

            Cannot establish connection to daemon: timeout!
            The log file might help you solving the problem.

It says the log file may help, but there is not log file in ~/.gdesklets/logs

I just found the 0.36.1-3 file on launchpad and tried installing it and it works for me.

Is there something I can do to help find the bug so it can be fixed?

Are those Ubuntu versions? I would check the release notes or with the Ubuntu distributor to see what he changed between versions. Also, I would assign this bug to him...I believe there's a similar one out there already and your feedback would likely be helpful.

OK, this looks like the "typical" ubuntu bug for the tiling module...

So, if you are compiling from source, please try the following steps in your gdesklets source code directory:

cd utils
ln -s .libs/*.so .
cd ../libdesklets/system
ln -s .libs/*.so .

This usually fixes the "Could not import tiling module!"

If you are using ubuntu (or any other distribution that ships gDesklets), please ask the appropriate bug list (like for ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdesklets ).

Putting this one into triage for a few days before closing it...
