Hi, which one did you install? Did the last message appear on the desktop or plasmoidviewer? Please install the 45 version and execute "plasmoidviewer olibreplaces" in the terminal.

I have KDE 4.5.x and installed the 45 version of the widget. But it does not produce a popup menu as it is shown in your screenshot but puts the menu items directly into the panel as a scrollable list with the heigth of the panel. Alas not very useful.

I have seen this reported for Python widgets as well for KDE 4.5. Sadly, I do not have KDE 4.5 installed anywhere so I cannot test this at the moment

Sorry about that. It now should be installable from the Plasma desktop.

You can also download it. Click on it and open it with "plasmapkg -i".

Hi. Are you using KDE 4.5 or older? Please try the 4.5 download.
If that does not work, please tell me the output of:

plasmoidviewer olibreplaces

or

plasmoidviewer org.orbitalibre.places

Can't find one in Fedora 14

You should be able to install without problems plasma-scriptengine-ruby from Fedora 15 because the package only contains ruby scripts, that don't change very much between KDE versions.
