Renat~ Good Call!! I found a little block of text on tux where someone had apm loaded by default, and, after adding acpi, had nothing working. As I read through the text, the poster mentioned looking in modules.autoload.d several times and seeing nothing being added (they didn't add anything themselves, and apparently assumed that the addition of the package would "handle" it). I looked around a little more and found someone who had a box very similar to mine and used the autoload settings from that article... All of the applets are showing properly in gnome now!
Thanks to you and Holly for the patient replies on this.
