Does it solve the problem on libc_r and libkse, the SysInfo can run fine 
without your patch? If yes, then I can trust on your source and update the 
gdesklets.diff then send it to PR.

Wanna to hear a funny story? I accidented 'rm -rf /usr/X11R6/share/' last 
night, which I was meant to 'rm -rf /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/gdesklets'.. It 
broke many stuffs, so right now I am rebuilding Gnome and many stuff. It's 
why I am not able to test gdesklets right now.. :-)

Thanks!
