gdesklets problem in 10.04 version

[MaxTub]

I can not run gdesklets in ubuntu 10.04.
When I do gdesklets check I got this message:

ERROR:/build/buildd/pyorbit-2.24.0/src/pyorbit-utils.c:39:_pyorbit_escape_name: assertion failed: (keyword_mod != NULL)
- ORBit ...Aborted

Its fixed here (sort of, going back to previous version)

Fix gdesklets in ubuntu 10.04 / Linux Mint 9.0

A simple edit is all thats necessary. Here's the fix!

1) gksu nautilus in terminal
2) go to /usr/lib/gdesklets/utils/ErrorFormatter.py
3) open the above file with gedit gksu mode
4) edit as follows:

change this line

def _new_imp(name, globs = {}, locls = {}, fromlist = []):

to this

def _new_imp(name, globs = {}, locls = {}, fromlist = [], test = []):

Then save the changes.
