Hi,

Sorry about this, I have some patches to fix this in a more general way at https://github.com/tych0/qtile/tree/fix-google-calendar

Can you verify this patch series fixes this issue for you? I keep meaning to land it, but things keep coming up.

Thanks,

Tycho

Can you try the current development branch and see if that works for you? I've pushed my patches. Thanks!

[aborilov]

Will do tomorrow

on my arch machine I have no problem, with aur package qtile-python3-git
but on my old ubuntu 12.04, I have a lot of installation. Now I know what is cabal for and how to install hackell packages... :)
but still can't start qtile session with error

Ok, I just reverted the commit that was causing that issue, which was unrelated to the widget issue (we broke develop in the process :). Anyway, can you try again when you get a chance. Thanks!

[aborilov]

Nop, the same error. https://gist.github.com/aborilov/8090452b6cd68cdd9a4d

[tych0]

Ah ha, I think this is actually a problem with the underlying xcffib. Would you mind testing this patch? tych0/xcffib@ef7f575

[tych0]

Ok, I think all is well here, as it seems the above patch is working for other folks. Closing this for now.
