Only 0.21 and above have a manpage. Anyway, gDesklets is kind of a daemon,
so you need to download the desklets from
http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org and install them by yourself. So, be
expect for a lot of desklets don't work very well, because of refresh
issues.

Yep, Alexander had to hack a lot of stuff in the libdesklets because of
Linuxish, which we are doing some test right now and might be done by
tomorrow or so.. Few (three to four) desklets will be committ in the ports
tree sometimes soon, when Alexander (netchild) commit the update of
gDesklets 0.22 in the ports tree...
BTW: I have more than 8 or 9 desklets ports, but I am holding them because
of refresh problem.. If someone know how to fix the refresh problem, then
I will send all of those desklets ports to PR.
Cheers,
Mezz
