This is actually the first time for me, installing this package (gDesklets)
I haven't tried to do so before the switch to 2.6
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdesklets/+bug/110103
from utils.tiling import Tiling
Manually trying to import this:
import sys
sys.path.append("/usr/lib/gdesklets")
from utils.tiling import Tiling
gives:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
from utils.tiling import Tiling
ImportError: could not import gobject (error was: '_new_imp() takes at most 4 arguments (5 given)')
manually importing gobject then trying the import again gives:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
from utils.tiling import Tiling
ImportError: could not import gobject (error was: '_new_imp() takes at most 4 arguments (5 given)')
Looking at the code:
#
# We are unable to load the source code if only a relative filename was
# available. Therefore, we have to extend the import handler in order to always
# give us an absolute path.
#
Sounds important.... but comment out that entire function and things run smoothly.
Please test gdesklets-0.36.1 which is making its way to [extra] now
problem is indeed solved in gdesklets-0.36.1!
Thanks very much.
