I recently decided that gdesklets looked interesting and decided to try
a few.

I installed gdesklets-weather and gdesklets-goodweather and noticed that
gdesklets was added to my accessories menu. Selecting this fires up a
gdesklets process, but I don't see anything visible. If I try to start
from the command line (gdesklets GoodWeather), I just get the following
on my terminal:
/usr/X11R6/bin/gdesklets:65: DeprecationWarning: the 'argc' parameter is optional and deprecated
  client.set_restart_command(1, [sys.argv[0]])
gDesklets 0.26.2
Copyright (C) 2003, 2004 The gDesklets Team

This software is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL.

And, I get a window stating:
Could not add display

The display could not be added because the file does not exist.

I have no idea what this means. I have found little documentation on the
use of gdesklets, either.

Any ideas on what is wrong or where I can read up on this?

Running RELENG_5 and Gnome 2.6.
