adesklets only run as root [SOLVED]

By daveo (User), on Thu May 12 03:20:14 2005: adesklets only run as root [SOLVED].

I've emerged the latest adesklets ebuild in Gentoo, version 0.4.8.

I can only launch the individual desklets, yab for example, as root. I've downloaded the yab.py script in a directory under my own user's home directory.

The error I am getting is:

Code:


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "downloads/yab-0.0.2/yab.py", line 48, in ?
    import adesklets
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/adesklets/__init__.py", line 36, in ?
    _init=_Initializer()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/adesklets/initializer.py", line 60, in __init__
    raise ADESKLETSError(3,event)
adesklets.error_handler.ADESKLETSError: adesklets interpreter initialization error - Configuration file parsing error `syntax error', stopped at line 8.

Exception exceptions.AttributeError: <exceptions.AttributeError instance at 0xb7c25fcc> in <bound method _Communicator.__del__ of <adesklets.communicator._Communicator instance at 0xb7b6b16c>> ignored

Yet this runs fine a root. Any ideas? :?

Edit:

Oops, my bad :oops: The ~/.adesklets file was causing the problem. I deleted this and it worked fine. Should have read the error message more closely.
