After installing desklet with adesklet -i, i can see all the desklet in .desklet.
If i go inside a desklet directory, i do python the_desklet and it ask me to register or just test.
I do register, the desklet start, but i don't take the prompt back.
If i crtl-c the desklet stop.

Now, if i run adesklet, nothing happen, no verbose, nothing.
I tryied some --user or special stuff, nothing more.

Any ideas ?

First, don't invoke it through python for registration... It has some nasty side-effects on many platforms. Just do:

Code:


./the_desklet
Do you want to (r)egister this desklet or to (t)est it? r
Registered. Run 'adesklets' to (re)start your desklets.
Look at 'adesklets --help' for special options.
Terminated

From there, you should have a new entry in $HOME/.adesklets, ready to be used. Have a look at adesklets manual (Chapter 4) for a complete explanation on how registration works. Yours,
