empty drawers on startup

[Marcus Werner]

After gnome starts up,all drawers in the panel are empty.

Product gnome 2.10 -- latest package from hoary
Component: gnome-panel 2.10 -- also latest package from hoary
Reproducible: I can reproduce the bug on two machines running
hoary with universe and multiverse everytime I start up gnome.

Workaround: I can work around this error by killing the
gnome-settings-daemon manually. The issue should be found within
the communication of the gnome-panel and the gnome-settings-daemon.
If someone tells me how to take a deeper look inside that relationship
I could provide some further data to track that bug down.

My drawers only contain launchers from the menu and some custom launchers.
On startup all launchers inside the drawers are not displayed, though they are
still present in some internal structure. Though the drawers are empty I can add
new launchers to the drawer resulting in the old launchers not being displayed
and the new launchers not being displayed.

Before I found the workaround, I experienced some situations where the drawers
suddenly displayed all launchers (old and new). killing the panels manually is
no workaround for this problem, so I suppose the error is located in the panel.

Maybe the gnome-startup-sequence is borked.

Seems to be a description of http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171256

Do you get the icon displayed if you move your panel with the drawer open ?

[Marcus Werner (workin4)]

Yes indeed. I get the icons displayed when I move the panel around with open
drawers.
I did not know that this bug has already been reported. Hmmm I thought I had
searched thoroughly enough.
My apologies for the inconvenience.
