Would it be possible for someone to package the latest gDesklets for Warty?

The one in the current repositories is waayyyy behind the current version and won't run a fair few applets.

Yep, that's the way people are doing it now, although it is a bit tough for those new to Linux.....

One thing that may be helpful for anyone who may attempt to package it is compiling it with the old "standard" dependencies that come with Warty.

I did a compilation with the new libglib that I later had to downgrade, but then I had to recompile gDesklets with the old libglib because the previous binary wouldn't run!
