I'm running with the 0.1.6 version and when i want to Launch/Start "Slideshow" applet ( or any other applets in fact ), i've got the follwing issue message :
"~/.config/screenlets/SlideshowScreenlet.log
REGISTER screenlet: SlideshowScreenlet

Hi,
which distro are you running?
Also, can you please try to run it with root permissions and see if that changes anything?

Hi and thks for your reply!
I'm running under ubuntu 12.10
At the beginning, everything was ok but since 3/4 weeks, i can't launch none of the applets. ( i guess after an update but i don't know what!)
And if i start "Screenlet" in root, all applets are deactivated.

I've upgraded now Ubuntu 12.10 in VM and there is no problems at all.

When I said try to run it with root permissions, I thought to try to run in from terminal with command:
sudo python /usr/share/screenlets/screenlets-pack-basic/Slideshow/SlideshowScreenlet.py
Please try command above and report here if that works.

If it doesn't, can you please see in folder /usr/share/icons/Humanity/actions/16/ are there files "gtk-properties.svg" and "gtk-close.svg"

Thanks,

It works fine . But, have i to always run it in root! There's not a security problem, time passing bye?
And how will i put it at start-up with the command begining by "sudo" .. it'll always ask me my root password?
Actually, my command in start-up program is = "python -u /usr/share/screenlets/screenlets-pack-basic/Slideshow/SlideshowScreenlet.py" .. what's the -u stands for?
Many thanks for yr help!
Sorry for my english ... i'm french!

Ok,
it looks like you have some permission issues with /usr/share/icons folder.
You should not run screenlets with sudo permissions, that was only to see if there is permission problem.
Execute "sudo chmod 755 -R /usr/share/icons" in terminal, and then you should be able to run screenlets like before.

About "python -u", execute in terminal "python -h" and there you can read about -u parameter.
