Can you please post the contents of your ~/.gdesklets/logs/gdesklets%3A0.0.log 

Comment 3 Brad Longo 2007-11-15 04:40:38 UTC
theres nothing in there except this line.

Log messages of /home/brad/.gdesklets/logs/gdesklets%3A0.0.log

Comment 4 Luya Tshimbalanga 2007-11-20 08:06:53 UTC
Please test
http://luya.fedorapeople.org/packages/RPMS/gdesklets-0.36-0.1.beta.fc8.x86_64.rpm
if the issue goes away. That version will available in Koji shortly.

Comment 5 Fedora Update System 2007-11-20 17:55:50 UTC
gdesklets-0.36-0.1.1.beta.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 testing repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
 If you want to test the update, you can install it with 
 su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update gdesklets'

Comment 6 Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2007-11-23 01:10:03 UTC
I can confirm that gdesklets-0.36-0.1.1.beta.fc8 from updates-testing solves the
problem. (mind you, it displays a nag dialog that it is a beta versin and that
the user may prefer a stable version)

Comment 7 Luya Tshimbalanga 2007-11-23 07:25:40 UTC
It will happen when starting gdesklets for the first time.

Comment 8 Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2007-11-23 07:40:07 UTC
in response to comment #7 and in reference to comment #6:
my bad I was not clear enough;
yes, the dialog says it is a one time dialog, I was more thinking along the
lines of our Fedora stable users being potentially confused by the message and
start hunting for a stable version.
Can we easily add a line or two to the dialog to the effect of the message being
OK and us simply delivering the latest known working version.
