Adesklets not working in 9.10

Do you want to (r)egister this desklet or to (t)est it? t
Now testing...

by looking at the common issue with adesklets, it seems as if posix_signal is the common errorornous object. I am going to do some tweaks and post my findings.

I fixed this (in debian testing though) by installing ttf-bitstream-vera
