Details

gdesklets should be installed with --prefix=/opt/gnome

This places all of the relevant Gnome mime-info in the correct location allowing desklets to be added by double clicking display files in Nautilus as intended. This is also removes the need of the gdesklets script in /etc/profile.d as long as gnome.sh is installed there. (May need to include that script if it isn't included in one of the dependent packages). Here is the PKGBUILD I was using before the package made its way into the repository.

pkgname=gdesklets
pkgver=0.20
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="gDesklets provides an advanced architecture for desktop applets."
url="http://www.pycage.de/software_gdesklets.html"
depends=(pyorbit gconf gnome-python)
conflicts=()
backup=()
install=
source=(http://www.pycage.de/download/$pkgname/gDesklets-$pkgver.tar.bz2)

build() {
cd $startdir/src/gDesklets-$pkgver
./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome
make || return 1
make install DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg
}

One other thing I noted. In the uploaded package, there is a symlink to the location in the packager's home directory. This didn't show up using my PKGBUILD though. It could be because I used DESTDIR and not prefix during make install.

OK, i'll be change the prefix and test again, thanks for the input.

the problem of poiting to mantainer's home was fixed in the new release of gnome-python.

The new prefix will be added into gdesklets-0.20.2-2 thanks.
