I’m on openSUSE 11.1 x86_64 running KDE 4.2 from the Unstable repo (had same issue under x86 also; but had other performance issues leading to a x86_64 install). I add the photos widget from Google and get the widget with a black screen. In my .xsession-errors file I get:
kwin: X Error (error: <unknown>[DAMAGE+0], request: XDamageDestroy[DAMAGE+2], resource: 0x181f156)

slide_shower.js:355: add new feed nature - Google Image Search
fetchs.js:364: fetch http feed url=http://images.google.com/images?q=nature&imgsz=xxlarge
fetchs.js:365: No permission to access network.
fetchs.js:365: ReferenceError: Failed to construct native object of class XMLHttpRequest
main.js:161: TypeError: kSlideShower is undefined
However, if I launch ggl-qt and then add the photos widget it works fine. The same also happens with the rss reader widget (fails when adding via Add Widgets but works fine from ggl-qt. Also, first launching ggl-qt and then adding the widget via Add Widgets does not resolve the issue either.
Now, is this by design (I must first launch ggl-qt before any Google gadget can access the network) OR is there a buried setting I need to change? If it’s by design, what is the point of having Google gadgets show up in Add Widgets.
Any help much appreciated.
