Mail desklet:

I got it configured to launch thunderbird on mouseclick (mozilla-thunderbird) and it does launch the program. Unfortunatly it displays the profilemanager everytime as well, which is pretty annoying. If I launch thunderbird through any other way, it starts the main application.

Yab desklet:

There is no way for me to edit the config.txt. Everytime I do so, it creates a new bar which sometimes is launched, and sometimes is not. And no, I did not start yab.py several times ;)

Things I tried/did:

- Executed yab.py
- Edited the config.txt, choose restart -> yab did not start
- Closed yab (quit), edited config.txt, restarted adesklets -> see above
- Saved my config.txt, removed yab.py completly (also from .adesklets), installed it again, added my config.txt, started it -> Yup, still nothing

Even my "testconfig", which basically is the same as the one that yab creates the first time (but with two firefox icons) won't launch properly.

Config:

id0 = {'bar_background_1': 'AAAAAA',
'bar_background_2': None,
'bar_foreground': '000000',
'bar_gradient_angle': 0,
'bar_height': 32,
'bar_opacity_1': 100,
'bar_opacity_2': None,
'caption_above': True,
'caption_color': 'AAAAAA',
'caption_delay': 0.10000000000000001,
'caption_fade_in': True,
'caption_fade_in_duration': 0.5,
'caption_fade_in_steps': 10,
'caption_font': 'Vera',
'caption_size': 20,
'click_effect': 'tint(alpha=100,red=255,green=255,blue=255);',
'click_effect_duration': 0.10000000000000001,
'icon_max_height': 128,
'icon_max_width': 128,
'icon_maximize_threshold': 0.90000000000000002,
'icon_min_height': 64,
'icon_min_width': 64,
'icon_spacing': 5,
'icons': [('firefox.png', 'GNU Emacs', 'emacs'), ('firefox.png', 'Firefox', 'firefox'), ('gimp.png', 'The GIMP', 'gimp-2.0'), ('terminal.png', 'Terminal', 'xterm'), ('xmms.png', 'XMMS', 'xmms')]}

.adesklets:

[/home/konrad/files/adesklets/desklets/weatherforecast-0.2.0/weatherforecast.py]
id=0 screen=0 x=764 y=0

[/home/konrad/files/adesklets/desklets/mailer/mailer-0.0.5/mailer.py]
id=0 screen=0 x=22 y=24

[/home/konrad/files/adesklets/desklets/mailer/mail2/mailer2.py]
id=0 screen=0 x=32 y=88

The funny thing is, the weather & mail plugin work without a problem.

I have no clue for the mailer/mozilla-thunderbird issue... Mailer does absolutely nothing special when executing programs. :-(

You are more in luck for the second one.

Sorry for the long delay answering you: I just missed your post somehow. Regards,
