Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdesklets-data

After upgrading from dapper-drake to egdy-eft, the "debian-cow" gdesklets doesn't display correctly. Several strings "-e" are displayed in the desklet. These "-e" come from the option "-e" of the command "echo" in the desklet source code.

I'm currently running the version 0.35.4-1 of the the package gdesklets-data.

I can reproduce this. Might be a consequence of the bash/dash change?

I want to have a look at this. Where can I download this desklet?

This desklet is available in the folder "uncategorized" of the gDesklets shell.

The problem happens also in feisty-fawn and gutsy-gibbon. It can be solved very simply, by editing the file /usr/share/gdesklets/Displays/others/debian-cow.display, and removing the option "-e" in the three commands "echo".

Still happening in Intrepid. As i mentioned before it's very simple to make this nice desklet work again, just by changing 3 lines in its code.
