adesklets-weatherforecast: problem displaying on screen

I am trying to use adesklets-weatherforecast.  When I start adesklets, it doesn't show on the screen.  However, if I right-click where it's supposed to be, the menu appears.  If I move it (without seeing it) from one place to another, it will eventually display.   It looks like if it's somewhat behind my wallpaper.  I have no problem with the SystemMonitor adesklet.  Anyone has experience with adesklets?  As usual,  I can post more info/config.

Re: adesklets-weatherforecast: problem displaying on screen

I'm running that adesklet and have tried a few others.  Definitely haven't run across any problems like you're describing.  Did you use the AUR version, or install it yourself?  Any changes to the default installation?

I installed adesklets from community, but not the weatherforcast desklet itself.  I throw them all under ~/.desklets as per recommendation on their forums.

Hi snow,

I have something similar with my "asimpleclock" desklet.
When I start my X the yab displays rather fast but the clock only displays after some 30 seconds or so.

I don't know why it is but it simply takes him some time to appear - doesn't bother me very much.

Have you tried starting your desktop and then wait a bit? without mooving it around and stuff, just wait for it...

Also, what DE/WM are you using?  I'm on Xfce...

I'm using the AUR versions. They are installed in /usr/share/adesklets. I have chmod them for my user.

Greycloak: I've waited for 5-10 min but it doesn't show up.  Currently, I start adesklets by hand after my WM is up and running.  I'll try to put adeslets in .xsession to see if it helps.

I am using fvwm-devel 2.5.13-1.  I will try using fvwm stable and other DE/WM.

Well, I've put adeslets in my ~/.xsession file and after about 10 seconds the desklets appears big_smile  I don't know why it was behaving like that, but it works now.

Thanks!
