OK, this can easily be fixed by using hashlib instead of md5 in plugin/Interface.py.
Seems to be running here fine ;).

BUT: when switching from md5 to hashlib we will have to switch to python 2.5+, too.
Will start a discussion about it on the MailingList.

OK, I hopefully found a clean way to deal with it by using try-except on the import of the hashlib.
Haven't tested it on a Python2.4 based system though.
Fix committed in rev #124.

Released with gDesklets 0.36.2.

OK,

That's great news Bjoern!!!

As a way for me to give back and support the Linux, OSS community, I'll make a donation to the Gdesklets project.

Would you be able to direct me to the info for a donation?

Thanks,
