The Linux version of Google Gadgets is a standalone application, so you don't need Google Desktop.

The first time I installed Google Gadgets it worked, despite a lot of bugs. Then the first time I reboot it simply didn't show up anymore. So I removed the application and tried to install it again, but now I get a error message.

Package google-gadgets is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source


So, I guess we have to wait for a new version.

if i press alt+f2 then type and type ggl-gtk click on Run it opens google
gadgets but it just doesn't show up in the applications.
