Works now as I updated it a few weeks ago, I have proof I used it the 
other day!! :)

Umm well I removed this module because the released version uses not 
only gnome-python as a dependancy but about 10 other modules I would 
have to make.  They are developing a new version that doesnt handle as 
many deps.  On another note I tried this during my testing phase of 
Gnome 2.5 and it worked but I couldnt get any of my subscriptions to 
work.  Maybe I should find another rss aggrator to use.

Never used it, nor tried it, I dont even know what it does but I will 
give it a shot here shortly and report back.

gDesklets will compile and run but, it crashes alot when you load up 
applets.  So I think its a problem with the gdesklets package, or hell 
it maybe just me.

All of the gnome-python based modules in theroy should work now.  I 
guess its something I need to test more as its the main reason why I 
moved Gnome back to /usr.  Maybe if I get some time this weekend I can 
do a full report on everything.
