Bug Description

After updating from warty to hoary last week, and again after updating today,
when I log in, I get the message:

The panel encountered a problem while loading
"OAFIID:GNOME_Panel_TrashApplet".
Details: Failed to resolve, or extend '!prefs_key=/apps/panel/
profiles/default/applets/trashapplet/
prefs;background=none:;orient=up;size=x-
small;locked_down=false

Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?

So far, I have clicked "Don't Delete" every time, which lets my session start
up, but naturally doesn't leave me with a trash applet. Mind you, I never use
it, but I imagine somebody might. :)

could you run "/usr/lib/gnome-applets/trashapplet" in a console and then
add the applet to the panel, in this way you should get the output in the
console

I would, only I just dist-upgraded, and the problem has disappeared. I'm a bit
annoyed, since a problem that disappears by itself may well reappear later, but
at least it's fixed now.
