I experienced a problem that looks related to your report. When starting a gnome session for the second time, the gnome-panel fails to load several applets. Instead, I'm getting a error message for each applet. I tried deleting .gnome, .gnome2, .gconf, .gconfd and killing gconfd-2, but only a complete reboot fixed the panel applets. When gracefully logging out from the gnome desktop or just killing X, the problem occurs on the next session again.
Recently I discovered the bonobo-activation-server running in the background. After killing this service, the broken panel loads just fine again. I assume this is the same kind of bug, although the problem arises in a different way. -- Bonobo-activation-server sometimes is not killed after session restart, leading to many unexpected problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49594 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
