Sidebar doesn't appear

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Alright that's really wierd, I installed google gadget a week ago,
everything was working fine, sidebar did appear on all my desktops. Today,
it totally disappeared, when I tick sidebar, I can see it's trying to
appear (quick black line show when I tick 'sidebar') but doesn't appear at all.
Gadgets can be put freely on the desktop, but not the sidebar...

Are you sure you checked the "sidebar" option in tray icon menu? It's really 
weird.

Yes, I did, I ticked, unticked then ticked again just incase, after more 
observation,
I am sure the sidebar is there, but it must be 1px width when it's there, which 
is
weirder...

Hmm. It must be a bug. Which version are you using? Please check file
~/.google/gadgets/options/gtk-host-options.xml (open it with any text editor) 
to see
if item "width" has a reasonable value. If not, you can edit this file and 
change the
value to something reasonable (make sure ggl is not running), then restart 
ggl-gtk.

alright, here is the value of width <item name="width" type="i" 
internal="1">1</item>
I am using the  0.10.5 version, on ubuntu 9.04.
I put the value of 50, and it's working, thanks alot

Each time I launch ggl-gtk 0.11.0 (with the patch for issue 311), the width is 
always
very narrow (16 px), so I widen it.  It remembers my desired width if I hide 
and show
the sidebar, but once I quit, while the value in gtk-host-options.xml is 
correct, the
next time it starts narrow again.
