How To/Roundup: Installing Widgets on Ubuntu

[ Thanks to An Anonymous Reader for this link. ]

"Screenlets, like gDesklets, can be installed through Add/Remove if your on Intrepid. If your still using Hardy Heron, it is still in the repositories, but you have to go to Synaptic. To make it start up when you boot, launch Screenlets from either Applications > Accessories > Screenlets (usually Intrepid) or System > Preferences > Screenlets (usually Hardy), then check the box saying "Auto start on login." From this same window, you can add the widgets that come with Screenlets."
