Good one!
Still, I didn’t worked for me… it just happened that I clicked F9 and I only widget that appeared was the wallpaper…

To solve this and after a while, i also installed google widgets and was is missing on this great tutorial, at least for me is adding wich widget window you are going to use…

For screenlets, in System-> Preference-> Advanced Desktop Effects Setings -> Widgets Layer
Then Add on Behaviour
For Screenlets, instead of class=, use

name=Screenlet.py

For Google one, use
class=Ggl-gtk

To enable both, I simply left screenlets with F9 and google ones with F10 and added

(class=Ggl-gtk) & name=Screenlet.py

Hope it helps…
