>>$ sudo apt-get install liborbit2-dev libgnomeui-dev

That got me there, thanks!  Now, alas, I have new problem.  I compiled
successfully, but when I try to run
$ gdesklets shell
I get this:

--
You're running gDesklets for the first time.
gDesklets will start a requirements check now...

Checking requirements:
 - sys ... found
 - xml.parsers.expat ... found
 - xml.sax ... found
 - gtk ... found
 - ORBit ... missing
Version check failed.

ORBit python bindings (pyorbit) version == 2.0.1 are required.

Please make sure that the required software is installed.
Also try to avoid having multiple versions of a library/binding on your
system.
gDesklets won't work if you don't have all necessary dependencies installed
on your system.

THE STARTUP WILL BE CANCELLED NOW!

Which is odd, because I do have pyorbit installed, it's a dependency of
gdesklets.
