adesklets on KDE X connection problem?

I've finally got around to using a GUI on a slack box and am trying to get adesklets to work on KDE. I've got it all installed, but when I try to start any desklet I get the following error on test;

Code:

adesklets.error_handler.ADESKLETSError: adesklets command error - X connection or window missing

I've been googling for a couple of hours and can't find anything about it. Can anyone help?

Thanks

KDE: for versions >= 3.4.1 (earlier versions untested). You need to turn on “Control Center -> Desktop -> Show icons on desktop -> Allow programs in desktop window”, or to turn off the “Show icons on desktop” altogether

Hi Emerson

No luck with that I'm afraid. I've tried updating my python from 2.4.1 to 2.4.3 and reinstalling adesklets, but I'm still getting the same error.

Any more ideas?

Actually I'm getting a different error now

Code:

Do you want to (r)egister this desklet or to (t)est it? t

Now testing...

If you do not see anything (or just an initial flicker

in the top left corner of your screen), try `--help',

and see the FAQ: `info adesklets'.
