Another solution is to remove all (except the default) applets from the bottom panel. When an newly added applet is removed, these messages appear once again on next login but on subsequent logins everything is OK.
I have experimented with my most used applets and evey time when I place one of them on the bottom panel I get the mentioned error on next logins. Greets, Ivailo P.S.
