How do I stop Screenlet widgets from showing up in Installed Programs?

  • 772

I've been running a couple Screenlets for awhile and like them. I'm only running two, although there are quite a few more in Screenlets. However, today I found that icons for all of them, whether or not I'm using them, have appeared in Installed Programs. Curiously, they do not have identifying text under them, as do all other programs there. How do I get rid of them?

    It must be a bug - or a feature - of Screenlets, but it's not one I like. For another problem I had to reinstall Ubuntu, and when I put Screenlets back on it still did the same thing. I'll live without Screenlets now until they get that fixed.

  2. To stop screenlets showing up in the launcher, do the following:

    1. Run the command alacarte from the terminal.

    2. Under the menu "Other", uncheck "Show" for the screenlets, you want to remove from the launcher.
