Package: gdesklets
Version: 0.26.2-6
Severity: normal


Memo gdesklet does not display the file, if the file contains ampersand. 
If "~/.gdesklets/memo" contains "test & test", the memo produced on the 
  screen is empty
If "~/.gdesklets/memo" contains "test test", the memo produced on the 
  screen displays correctly "test test"

best regards,

Marcin Bienkowski
