pannel doesn't load in the upper pannel

[E-B]

Until yesterday the applets was loading in the upper pannel. Now they are not loading anymore. The uppper pannel just show: Applications, Places, System and my Icons. The pannel on the ground load every thing. But when you are clicking with the right mouse on a panel the menu doesnt appear. The "Applications Places.."- menu cannot be open too. The Icons seems to be not active.
But When you click with the right mouse on a applet the menu appears.

I work with breezy installation, that had been upgraded to Dapper, which is uptodate! My user has been created under Breezy, don't know if it is important.

Thanks for your bug. What applets do you have on your top panel? Does adding a new applet work?

[E-B (ebelt9hf)]

I have a lot of applets. Like Teatimer, Clock... Which file/directory or script controlls the applets?
I believe that Dapper is not "happy" with the config from breezy...

[E-B (ebelt9hf)]

I solved the problem! It seems that one of my applet doenst work... And the whole panel was freezing. So I start the gconf-editor and edit remove some pannel to load...
in /apps/panel/applets/* the applets are defined.
in /apps/panel/general/applet_id_list I have remove some panel to load...
now it works fine...

I believe that I have found the "bad" applet: xpinguins seems to freeze the panel and the application with the title "Add to Panel"!

I had this problem today, but not with xpinguins. I run the command line app, the dictionary app, the system tray, the sound app, the clock app, the weather app, the sysmon app, and the trash app. One of these caused the problem; I suspect the volume control or the clock (both of which have been reported to cause this). I removed ~/.gconf/panel, and restarted X - the panel loaded fine after this. Time will tell if the error repeats.

Does this still happen to you?

[E-B (ebelt9hf)]

no, it was a problem with an applet. I think it is solved --> I close the bug..

that was probably the mixer applet crasher or something like that
