I think either gdesklets or its dependencies is not compatible with python 2.6, at least not here on my machine:
I tried the new debian version and the current ubuntu version (as mentioned in bug #83922 ) and it doesn't work unfortunately:
$ gdesklets check
Checking requirements:
- sys ... found
- xml.parsers.expat ... found
- xml.sax ... found
- gtk ... found
**
ERROR:/
- ORBit ...Aborted (core dumped)
I also tried the debian version of python-pyorbit, and it failed with the same message again:
$ gdesklets restart
Restarting gdesklets-daemon...
Starting gdesklets-daemon...

Could not import tiling module!
Cannot establish connection to daemon: timeout!
The log file might help you solving the problem.

I have a similar problem on Gentoo with python 2.6. overide. patch): repos.archlinux .org/viewvc. cgi/gdesklets/ repos/extra- x86_64/
I managed to get it working by applying a patch I found from Arch Linux (no-import-

This patch just comments out certain module import code, so
it may break something else... (but works for me).
