Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdesklets

i am searching only for an imonc-client this package shall provide. Misread the infos and installed screenlets before, which are working. But gdesklets did not and it seems there are no unmet dependencies that may explain it.

HW is Athlon XP 1800+, 2GB DDR2 RAM, Geforce 5200 (Passive Cooled) and M.board with SIS M848 Chipset (if i remind it right)

As far as I remember the Imonc-gDesklets package (v0.6) provides 5 different Desklets (FTB, Gauges, SideCandy, SideCandy-XCon and SideStripes). Which one did you try?

Some more information (like the log file) would be helpful, too.

I can not try any of the contents. Always when i try to start gdesklets from the menu it dies silently without any informations. So i can't choose any desklet it contains. I never seen any of them on screen.

started from a terminal i get:
-snip-
kay@compi:~$ gdesklets&

kay@compi:~$ gdesklets-daemon wird gestartet …

Die Protokolldatei könnte Ihnen bei der Behebung des Problems behilflich sein.

kay@compi:~$

-snap-

Which logfile do you need? I don't know which protocol-file is meant above.

attached a compressed list of installed packages, output from 'apt-cache pkgnames' with the hope that someone founds a package that is missed (unknown by me) and may solve the problem.
