Development for aDesklets Help

Hey guys,

Have any of you worked with developing for aDesklets before?

I've recently become familiar with aDesklets and I just finished writing a crude system monitor desklet for it.  I however, am having one problem.  Whenever I try to register the desklet it starts the desklet, but just hangs in the terminal.  I must note that this desklet never actually finishes its execution.  Essentially, I have an infinite loop mixed with a sleep call that remeasures a resource.  Could this be the cause of it not registering, or is my code missing something completely?

Thanks for any help!

What about when you test it instead of registering it?

When I test the desklet itself it works perfectly.  Also, when I register it it works perfectly (at least, the desklet does...but in the terminal the program hangs and it never registers).

Not sure what is going on.  Which aDesklet are you trying to use?  Maybe it can be a user permission issue...

Well, I was using my own aDesklet, but I've noticed this problem with other aDesklets as well...  :-/  Oh, well for the time being I've recreated my desklet in gDesklets.
