SuSE 9 gDesklets install

This is how to install gDesklets on SuSE 9:

Just installed a plain SuSE 9 Pro box with just gnome. During the install an update was performed using the online update. After install I wanted gDesklets so this is what I did in a round about way.

make sure you have you py* related software from your cd and

su
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
cd /opt/gnome/share/gdesklet*/display

vi +104 TargetLabel.py

(should look something like this)
# determine the locale
# import commands
# fail, CHARMAP = commands.getstatusoutput(”locale charmap”)
# if (fail or not CHARMAP):
# print “Could not detect character encoding.”
CHARMAP = “ISO-8859-1″
