deskbar-applet crashes several times during upgrade to Lucid Lynx: GError: Icon 'deskbar-applet' not present in theme

[Doron Dobrin]

Binary package hint: update-manager

During upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 I had 25 popups appear with the following message:
---
Bug reporting tool
The application deskbar-applet has crashed.
Information about the crash has been successfully collected.
This application is not known to bug-buddy, therefore the bug
report cannot be sent to the GNOME Bugzilla. Please save
the bug to a text file and report it to the appropriate bug
tracker for this application

I attach the 25 "deskbar-applet-bugreport" text files.

In my opinion this is pertinent to the update-manager more than to GNOME or whoever is in charge of deskbar-applet. Either the update-manager should have caught nuisance value popups or the applet, whatever it is (I haven't a clue) should have been disabled. By the way, the /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/deskbar directory is no longer there after the upgrade, so I can't find out anymore what it was about.
