Actually we are going to release 0.36.3 soon. 0.36.3-rc1 will be out in a few days for testing (hopefully).

Thanks! You hit the nail on the head!
We really don't know why ubuntu is (still) shipping an old AND broken version of gdesklets.
Most of the bugs reported are ubuntu related. But unfortunatley we can't change it either.

Very good idea. We have been looking for someone to set up a PPA for a few month now.
Right now it looks like the current / remaining gDesklets' developers are all running gentoo...
