To compile and install grdc-gnome package, please execute the following command as root:

./configure
make
make install

NOTE: The panel applet .server file will be installed as /usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers/Grdc_Applet.server by default. But in Debian 5.0, it seems that the Gnome panel is ignoring /usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers directory. Putting a symbolic-link under /usr/lib/bonobo/servers solves the problem:

ln -s /usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers/Grdc_Applet.server /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/Grdc_Applet.server

You might need to restart X (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) to make it available.

Or optionally, you can do a "./configure --prefix=/usr" as the first step, to install it under /usr prefix instead of /usr/local.

To add grdc applet to you panel, just right-click on your panel and choose "Remote Desktop Client".
