============= Known issues

• When using mate-python-extras-2.10, you will be able to use deskbar-applet only in window-mode, not in the panel, because you won't be able to focus and type in it.

============ Requirements

Required dependencies:

• Python 2.4 or above
• pygtk-2.10 (modules: gtk, gtk.gdk, gtk.glade, pango)
• pygobject-2.10 (modules: gobject)
• mate-python-2.10 (modules: mateconf, mate, mate.ui, matevfs)
• mate-python-extras-2.10 (module: mateapplet)
• gtk+-2.10 to compile global hotkey and icon entry
• mate-desktop-2.10 to compile .desktop parsing

Optional dependencies:

• Compile time:
  • evolution-data-server-1.2, for libebook-1.2
  • beagle-0.1.1, python bindings for libbeagle, currently shipped, and on their way upstream
• Run time:
  • Running beagle daemon
  • Running evolution-data-server

============= Installation

Execute the following steps to install deskbar-applet

./configure --prefix /usr make

Now you can either install it on your system: sudo make install (or run make install as root)

Then you are able to add the applet through the mate-panel applet manager.

Or you can try it without installation, by running ./deskbar/deskbar-applet -w
