yossarian Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) Hi everybody, I'm running Mandriva 2008.0 on IBM X30. I installed from the repos the gDesklets application. I found here an application that mimics the Mac strterbar. After downloading the tar ball and installing the desklet, I double clicked it (in the gDesklet window) in order to activate it. I got the following error message: Log messages of /home/usr/.gdesklets/logs/gdesklets%3A0.0.log /usr/lib/gdesklets/main/TrayIcon.py:55: Warning: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed item.get_children()[0].set_text_with_mnemonic(label) ==========================================================[01/08/08-08:32:04]=== Deprecation: Sensors are deprecated since v0.30.

'id11997741409256692' Ideas, anyone? Thanks in advance! Edited January 8, 2008 by yossarian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yossarian Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 OK, solved it myself. :) Damn, that one was difficult. It looks like it happened for many people, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere. Only users complaining. Finally I thought about this solution myself (total luck, BTW). Anyway, for the welfare of the next generations, I post here what I did: go here: http://gdesklets.zencomputer.ca/ look for the StarterBar desklet. download the 0.31.3 tar ball. extract the Install_StarterBar_Sensor.bin file. run the Install_StarterBar_Sensor.bin file. That's it. Probably not very wise, as the gDeklets version I'm running is 0.35.4, but works nonetheless. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
