Bug Description

Binary package hint: xpenguins-applet

I installed xpenguins and xpenguins-applet on my Virtualbox Installation of Hardy alpha 3. xpenguins works fine (dancing penguins on my desktop ;) ), but when I want to add the Xpenguins-applet to the Gnome panel I get the error message:

The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:XPenguinsApplet".

Steps to reproduce this:
- Install xpenguins-applett.
- Try to add it to the gnome-panel (via right click, "add to panel") and see that it doesn't work.

Affter reading this bug report and wanting to see the dancing penguins (really cute penguins :), just wanted to confirm the applet add issue in Gutsy. Installation works, penguins dance when started via command line, but adding the applet to the Gnome panel errors as above.
