Bug#323238: gdesklets: gDesklets will not start

[Rick Friedman]

Package: gdesklets
Version: 0.35.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


gDesklets hangs during startup. This started occuring after I updated
python2.3 and python2.3-dev to version 2.3.5-7. As indicated below,
gDesklets seems to depend on python version 2.3.5-3
