I am attepting to use aDesklets, but when I configure a
desklet (either by manually opening config.txt), it doesn't
seem to change the config of the desklet. For example, when I
try to change the feeds in newsreader, on restart of the
desklet, it still displays the Slashdot feed - and when I
commented out the Slashdot feed, it was reinstated on desklet
restart. I get this with both newsreader and modubar. I'm
running the version of aDesklets 0.4.6 that is in Gentoo's
portage tree, with desklets downloaded from the aDesklets
site yesterday.
What can I do about this?
EDIT: This is also hapening with Mailer. I 'vim config.txt'
(with mailer not running), change the settings to reflect my
GMail account, save, and run the ./mailer.py . I then close
mailer (which didn't display anything, so I had to Ctrl - C
it), and look again at config.txt . The default settings of
nobody@nowhere.net have been reinstated as ID1 (leaving my
settings as ID0).

You are starting the desklet wrong.
This is from the FAQ:
A.2.4 Gosh! The desklet X is working, but does not
remember its settings, or it always starts on the top left
corner of screen 0 on a new X session. What is that? It
sucks!
This is most probably related to the way you started the
desklet (Please see Using adesklets.). You need to invoke
the desklet script only once. Afterwards you just need to
run the command:
adesklets
and it will remember where you placed your desklets and
which desklets you had running.

Ah. FAQ. Now why didn't I think of that? :oops:
Thanks :)
