gdesklets shell fails under gnome

[Henri Prudhomme]

Hello,

I'm running Freebsd 5.4 with gnome 2.10 and
gdesklets-0.34.2_1. When I launch gdesklets in gnome
(applications > accessories > gdesklets) the program
opens an empty gdesklets shell window (only the window
sizing controls are available). Closing the window
gives an error that the application is not responding.

I found this: --->

Hope I'm on the right list for this...
Is there a fix available?

Thanks.
