It&#39;s not gdesklets&#39; fault, if you believe it or now. Try to make sure, python2.4 is used instead of python2.5.<br>This should fix the problem. Python 2.5 on &lt;hardy seem not to work. I don&#39;t remember which version of python is used in feisty. Anyway, feisty is almost one year old now and you should upgrade to gutsy or hardy.
