Comment 3 for bug 609386

With UNE 10.04, I have the following wrong behaviour that might be related. You can easily reproduce the issue doing this (I reproduced the exact scene twice on a eeepc 1005-HA and in an Vbox VM):

** test 1 **

- choose "Unbuntu Netbook Edition 2D" session when you log in (there is no pb with the standard "Unbuntu Netbook Edition")

- as soon as icons show up, click one app (for instance I run Evolution from my favorite) = note that you run an app *before* you hear the ubuntu welcome sound and *before* the top bar appears

- once the welcome sound as played an the top bar is there, quit your app (Evolution)

- surprise: no more icons, no more menu, netbook-launcher-elf is gone !

- whereas "ps aux | grep netbook-launcher-elf" shows that it still running

** test2 **

- now, give a chance to the netbook-launcher-elf: wait for the login process to end "properly"

- ok, you've heard the welcome sound, the desktop and the top bar are well displayed

- then, launch an app (Evolution again); quit; check that icons are still here. ok, netbook-launcher-elf is still working

- now, switch from current workspace to others (I kept the default panel number = 4); you can see that netbook-launcher-elf is not diplayed on others; it displays only on one workspace

- now, open a terminal and "restart" netbook-launcher-elf:
    kill `pidof netbook-launcher-elf`; netbook-launcher-elf &

- notice that now netbook-launcher-elf appears on all workspaces

- if you want to trace errors, rerun netbook-launcher-elf with debug option like this
    kill `pidof netbook-launcher-elf`; netbook-launcher-elf -d=1 &

    for instance, mine shows this at the begining
      "ERR: conf.c:691 conf_theme_get() no theme entry."
