Okay, I tried some stuff... It seems as if the applet starts to malfunction after logging off and on again or after the x-server has been restarted. It works perfectly after a full reboot.
This problem seems to affect a series of other applets not included in the gnome-applets package, too (music applet, Zeroconf service discovery applet). -- [feisty] Trash applet does not show recycled files https://launchpad.net/bugs/87709 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
