Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: adesklets
When i start adesklets 0.6.1-2build1 using the -w parameter, it says:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ adesklets -w nautilus
ERROR: User name does not exist.
********* simple selection ********* ********* selection by list *********

-e all processes -p by process ID

The problem is in /usr/share/adesklets/adesklets_frontend.sh, line 214:
test -z "`ps -u $UID -U $UID -o comm | sed -n "/$2/p"`" || break
The script look at the variable UID, which is not exported by default in the
environment.
Look at this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ export UID && adesklets --nautilus -w nautilus
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
Now it works.
What can we do to avoid this?
Replacing $UID with $USER could be a good idea? ($USER is exported by default
in Ubuntu).
PS: Sorry for my poor english :-)
