Hello,
I built w/ Arch about a week ago and love it! I had fun setting the system up under RAID with the help of a buddy who's a longtime Arch fan [see script output below for post-irrelevant stats]. I'm ecstatic with the performance of the system and the straightfoward setup. Thanks very much to all the contributors for the great docs.
OK...now...
how shall I put this..uh...er...HELP!!!
I installed Compiz-Fusion a couple days ago and find the desktop environment possibilities endlessly entertaining. I had a really handy little clock and weather widget when I was in my XP world, so I went down the Gdesklets path, hoping to replicate these useful elements in my Arch world. I think I have the requisite installs, but as you can see from the app log below, it's not getting what it wants. Any help from other users who've perhaps experienced the same issue would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

You're better off switching to something else. gdesklets never worked for me either.

The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck, is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...
