Did you install pyGTK?
@Tofe: Can you add this dependence?

I'm sorry but it seems python-gobject is missing too...

There is no python-gobject nor python-gobject-dev nor gobject package in Arch repository to install.
Shouldn't it all be as dependencies?

I should add them as optional dependencies. I'll do that asap.

@fab & @mattbe: wait wait wait, do you mean we can install and update them from the server ? In that case, the plug-ins-extra package is useless, we should just advise people do install these plug-ins from the dock...

sure, you don't need to package the extra plug-ins
actually that's their main purpose.
although packaging them allows to gracefully handle the dependancies.

and to force the use of python 2!

Ok, so does it mean I can somehow get this to work now or do I have to wait for another release?

But this is a problem: if it is CD who handles the download & install of these plugins, then it's up to CD to make so that it works on the current platform. So, in that case, it is a bug in CD if the extra plugins don't work on Archlinux.
Cairo-dock is proposed for Archlinux ==> Either a patch is made in the cairo-dock or cairo-dock-plug-ins package in Archlinux to make the downloaded extra plugins work, or we package the -extra plugins and deactivate the download & update capability of these extra plugins in CD with an Archlinux patch.

@Lockheed: I've uploaded a new version of the -extra package in AUR, which automagically guesses the right install path. If I didn't make any mistake, it is of the kind PREFIX/share/cairo-dock/third-party.

It's not PREFIX/share/cairo-dock/plug-ins/Dbus/third-party?

That wears me down. I reinstalled the extra and here's the console output:

@Tofe: is it because he has to install pyGTK for python2? It's not easy...

mmmh weeelll mmmh I'll have to have a closer look to all this. I don't understand exactly what happens here, so I need to investigate.

CD handles the applets because they are not compiled, so they can (in theory) be installed anywhere.
we try to use the most common dependancies, but sometimes it's not possible, hence the problem.
I think though that pyGTk should be installed by default on any distro.

if everybody was using apt-get we could handle dependancies ourselves

But I DO have pyGTk installed and it still doesn't work

Any progress with this? I have been using standard Gnome menu so far, but it is not perfect.

I have also the "pygtk-2.24.0-1" package on my system. Could you please check that your third-party/Cardapio/Cardapio file actually begins with #!/usr/bin/python2 ?
