Hi,

I upgraded to 4678, but the widget panel is not showed anymore, it
doesn't apear in the list of panel, the menu file/import/widget is
grayed, I see nothing in the config

When I first opened the new build, I had a dialogbox to offer me to
convert the existing widgets (BTW, the destination path was grayed, no
way to change it as I would have liked), and then ... no more widget ;-)

I tried to DL newly one of the widget, it downloaded but is still not
shown.

In opera:config, I have those two settings :
- Show Notifications For Widgets [checked]
- widget file : "/home/sid/.opera/widgets.adr" (the file exists and the
timestamp is from today)

Is there somethg I'm missing, or is this a bug ?

sidux 32 - KDE 3.5.10
Opera Build 4678
Bibliothèque Qt 4.5.2
Lib Java Runtime installed

Best regards

That's a feature of the build you're using:

http://labs.opera.com/news/2009/10/15/

All the built-in stuff is gone in favour of running widgets as separate
applications. It's also a labs build, so it's experimental code, usually
rougher than the normal snapshot builds from the desktopteam blog.

Hi, Remco,
Yes, I figured out in the meantime that all my widgets are now in ~/opera-
widgets/bin (as anounced in the your link) and that I have to launch them
manually.
Neither very practical nor intuitive, though, I guess the dev-team will
add a better way to launch them.

In another subject, may I suggest to them to put all the config folders
of the widgets as subfolders of a general ~/opera-widgets-config/ one, if
not it could populate heavily the home folder

Nothing wrong in that for me, I'm just trying to help to debug, I'm
afraid I was not very helpful this time ;-)

Regards
