I take it you consider dropping it from the tree in case it does not get to run before release? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'd guess that file just got overlooked from the file list; this module is special in that it is not a native Python code but is compiled from C source; possibly this caused the omission. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=440601 User jdluhos@novell.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=440601#c3 --- Comment #3 from Jiri Dluhos <jdluhos@novell.com> 2009-02-01 09:06:27 MST --- Hmmm, no, I was wrong; at least in the most recent package, the "/usr/lib(64)/gdesklets/utils/tiling.so" file is present. The error occurs when trying to import it. Many Python files that comprise the package contain a directive from utils.tiling import Tiling; When executing it from command line in the appropriate directory, the Python VM says: ----------------------------------- Python 2.6 (r26:66714, Jan 30 2009, 17:31:24) [GCC 4.3.3 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 143673]] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
from utils.tiling import Tiling;
==========================================================[02/01/09-17:04:58]=== === Unhandled error! Something bad and unexpected happened. === [EXC]could not import gobject (error was: '_new_imp() takes at most 4 arguments (5 given)') in <stdin>: line 1 <module> [EXC]<stdin> [EXC]>> could not load source code for hilighting << ------------------------------------ Exactly the same error occurs even with gDesklets compiled from the upstream sources, so this is not caused by packaging. Looks like incompatibility of python-gobject with current GNOME libraries, or something like this :-( -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
