Bug Description

When installing Universal Applets directly after uninstalling Screenlets, all applets are unusable until the old screenlets-daemon has been killed.

Similar problems may occur if the user updates Universal Applets and there have been significant changes to Melange or Screenlets-Daemon.

If you run UA right after screenlets was installed, the screenlets version of the daemon may still be running. Do you need to do this every time you run UA or only for the first run?

I do not seem to be able to reproduce this. Guess you're right.

Ok.

I'm going to reopen this bug with the corrected description. (UA should kill the old version of screenlets-daemon when it's installed.)

Suggested solution:
Add READMEFIRST file with exlanation how to kill and install ua from sources instead of killing

I'm using rpm-based system and it is fairly simple to kill a process as a part of installation process (rpm preinstall scripts). How does it look with .deb?
Maybe we should just add the READMEFIRST and close this bug? I think that most of the end-users will use rpm/deb/your-distro-package-type instad of sources.
