Wow, awsome!! The gdesklets works much better, which the SysInfo and 
weather work now. Took me few months to figure.. :-)

Gotta to create the new gdesklets.diff and send it to PR.. Then, I will 
work the SysInfo port with you because there many problem with it. Like, 
it needs the USE_BZIP2, new distinfo and fix some installtion.

Are you going to report at gDesklets's Bugzilla? Or do you want me to do 
it for you with your credit include?

Cheers,
Mezz
