Screenlets malfunction after upgrading to 18.04

Everything in the screenlets worked fine in my Ubuntu 17.10
However after upgrading to 18.04 not only do some screenlets (like the clock) appear to be a lot blurred than before but I cannot move any of the screenlets manually by clicking and dragging my mouse.
Is it because I accidentally removed one of the many libraries which the Software Updater suggested me were no longer needed during the distribution upgrade or is it some problem with the display of 18.04 and its compatibility with the screenlets app?
In any case is there a solution? Because I really want to be able to use a functional clock screenlet in 18.04.

bash to install screenlets in bionic (For clean installation. Not tested on upgrades from previous versions to 18.04. Run ./script.sh without "sudo"):
#!/bin/bash
sudo dpkg -l python-wnck >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? == 0 ]; then
echo "OK"
else
echo "Install python-wnck"
sudo apt -y install libwnck22
wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gnome-python-desktop/python-wnck_2.32.0+dfsg-4_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i python-wnck_2.32.0+dfsg-4_amd64.deb
sudo apt --fix-broken -y install

Thanks for sharing this script! While this solution does install screenlets, my question is not about installation. It is about the way they behave in 18.04 compared to previous Ubuntu versions. the ClearCalender screenlet for example does not move when I hold and drag the mouse, I've mentioned other examples in my question.
