[SOLVED] adesklets broken after X updates

After X update, it prints warnings like this:

Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".

I know this is harmless after searching the forum and looking at maillists.
But adesklets doesn't think so it exits after seeing this.

So I taught it to ignore this (and all warnings and errors). Maybe this is not safe enough, but it works.:P

Just to edit /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/adesklets/initializer.py
and to change lines near 100 like this:

            if event:
#                if re_event.match(event):
                    if re_event_ready.match(event):
                        break
#                else:      
#                    if not debug:
#                        raise ADESKLETSError(3,event)
#                    else:
#                        print event

that is, to comment out most of these lines.
Then it works

Re: [SOLVED] adesklets broken after X updates

oldherl, I guess we read the samething as I am having the same problem.  But I was wondering if you contacted the adesklet developer to bring the issue to him with your proposed workaround.
