Furthermore, the desktop menu is not clickable. The top left menu icon works but it looks like something's being messed up on the desktop.

Removing via apt-get purge and rebooting fixes things.

I can open a bug at the appropriate place but I wonder if something else I have running may be interfering. Anyone got any idea?
Hi nex,
First, maybe the proper place to file a bug may be here since the app is not yet on extras and the extras-devel page resets at each upload.

Here come some questions:
a) after everything, installing it again causes any harm?
b) any other "devel" widgets? (I assume you have reasons to believe this app was the source of problems)

Now, some revelations:
I observed the pretty much the same "bug" as you, but I just added widget by widget (after reboot or not) and everything works fine now..

I'm somewhat puzzled by this bc whatever handles widget-related stuff was copied from personal-ip-address/countdown-home-widget/personal-gprs-counter or the like.. so if the bug was on one of those, I just propagated.... or.. I did something bad on the app myself.

Sorry for the inconvenient, this app is somewhat experimental and that's why I never upped to extras-testing. What I can say to help is that it works OK with PR1.1 (after this glitch).

I'm kinda without time to work on the app recently, I expect to work on it next week..

(Also, I already figured out a way to enable width management.. =])

Well.. any other info around this bug may be useful..

Thanks nex!
