im trying to run gdesklets on gentoo 2004.3 and ive never had a problem with it before but now whenever i try to run any display at all it crashes and this is there error it spits out.

File "/usr/local/lib/gdesklets/shell/ItemBrowser.py", line 114, in __on_activate_item
self.update_observer(self.OBS_ACTIVATE_ITEM, item)
File "/usr/local/lib/gdesklets/utils/Observable.py", line 45, in update_observer
h(self, *args)
File "/usr/local/lib/gdesklets/shell/plugins/DisplayBrowser/__init__.py", line 92, in __on_activate
ident = client.open_display(path)
File "/usr/local/lib/gdesklets/shell/plugins/gDeskletsClient/__init__.py", line 39, in open_display
ident = self.__daemon.open_display(path)
File "/usr/local/lib/gdesklets/main/client.py", line 54, in open_display
return self.__send(COMMAND_OPEN_DISPLAY, path)[0]
TypeError: unsubscriptable object

same problem here... is this a consistent problem with gentoo 2004.3 ?

i doubt it, gentoo is built from source straight from the net. may be a package that was installed. i have no idea
