For a while now, Google Desktop has been available for Linux, and it works really well.  Well, now they have FINALLY released some code to allow you to run Google Gadgets on your Linux desktop.

It’s not a click and run install.  There’s no deb you can download and install yet; you must compile it.  Just try and follow the instructions as well as you can.  Hopefully soon Google will make some debs or rpms available for making the installation a snap.

I was able to get it working though.  The screenshot is from my laptop!

Thank you Google!
