gDesklets problem?


I don't know if I installed this wrong but I used YUM to install gDesklets and all dependancies. It seemed to have finished the install fine.

Now when I go to "Redhat Icon" > Accesories , I see the option to run gDesklets with the puzzle background icon. I select it and it opens a small tab on my tool bar like it's trying to open and have an hour class for a pointer. After 15-20 seconds, the action just disappears...

I have no idea why? I did not get any errors while installing and I get no errors while trying to run the app but nothing happens. I assume I should get some window or toolbar to interact with.

If I open a terminal window and type
Code:
[carlos@localhost carlos]$ gdesklets
gDesklets 0.26.2
Copyright (C) 2003, 2004 The gDesklets Team
 
This software is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL.
That is all I get. Nothing ever happens and I end up stopping the command.

Any ideas?

did you read any documentation that came with Gdesklets? gdesklets itself is a daemon, it has not interface at all. erad the manpage for more details on using it.

I just went to their main site to understand this program and there is no install help or FAQ on what needs to be done after the gDesklets app is installed. Is there any help material anywhere?

I went to their forums and they are rude...

you have to download as well monitors (weather or whatever you want). Once you have this, you have to run "gdesklets monitor_you_have_downloaded" in a terminal.
