GDesklets Broken

[Kevin Mulligan]

I have tried everything that has been mentioned. I did the Run Program 
-> gdesklets to get the daemon running, then tried typing in/searching 
for a file to open. When attempting to open what I believe is the config 
file, I get "Invalid display file 
'/usr/share/gdesklets/config/ConfigManager.py'".

I then tried simply going to the file via Computer -> Drives -> 
/usr/share/gdesklets/config/ConfigManager.py, and right clicking and 
telling /usr/bin/gdesklets to open it. This resulted in the same error. 
I even tried usr/bin/gdesklets-thumbnail-viewer. This gives no error, 
but does nothing.

I may try downloading the package from the website rather than using the 
Synaptic one. I will report on this either today or tomorrow.

Any more suggestions are still welcome, of course.
