Found it out. GDesklet is trying to use Python 2.5, but only 2.6 is installed.

Developer should fix that.

gdesklets
bash: /usr/bin/gdesklets: /usr/bin/python2.5: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I have also found this to be the case.

Installed gDesklets and had python 2.6. Had this error. Installed 2.5 and then was able to use the application.

Thanks for the fix - does python 2.6 have to be uninstalled?
