Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
I run a bunch of panel applets, and have had many of them fail to start on login.
Unfortunately I do not remember the error message, but it will happen again, so when it does I'll write down the error message and post an update.
So far, applets that have failed this way are:
Indicator Applet Session
Clock
Hardware Monitor
Gnome Sensor Applet
Usually nothing fails. Occasionally just one of these will fail. Rarely, more than one will fail.
If I immediately log out and log back in, the failed panel applet is working again.
On a related note, the "Camera Monitor" applet quite often (but not always) brings up an error message claiming it is already running on login. This failure is not as annoying as it does not require a logout to recover from.
Since this affects so many different applets, I do not believe the problem is in the applets themselves, instead it must be in the gnome panel.
