Getting gdesklets to work with Beryl on startup

I had written about my move to Ubuntu a few days back . One of my favorite apps is the beryl window manager , It absolutely kicks a** . I also like the gdesklets application but there was a small problem when i tried to put them both into startup .I don’t know how many people have faced this, I was looking for a solution at the Ubuntu forums and found that it happens to be a registered bug over at Launchpad.

One workaround which my brother came up with is to make a small script which looks something like this.

$ beryl-manager
$ sleep 10
$ gdesklets start

Remove both beryl and gdesklets from startup and place this script in the startup . Works fine for us . Hope it helps someone .
