Thanks for you bug report.
It seems that it's the same problem than the #188427 bug. Feel free to reopen if not.

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

After a better look at it, it's probably not the same bug.
According to this (http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=6962), this patch should fix the problem, but you need to delete the screenlets with its preferences and recreate it.
If you can test it, please tell me if it work.

Hi,
I have try to restart all screenlets before patching screenlets-manager.py then apport report a crash (I have close).
I have applied the patch to screenlets-manager.py (found in /usr/share/screenlets-manager/) rename $HOME/.screenlets to $HOME/(dot)screenlets and reseting all screenlets config (and also restarted screenlets).
I have try to restart all screenlets and it look like that bug is corrected :)

I have reported a bug ID:197710 probaly a duplicate of this one. The other screenlets crash with the same restart exactly the same time.

I am up to date as of 3/28/08 AM easten US time , this crash occured on the first reboot after update. MY sys is 64bit.

[Kjell Braden (afflux)]

sojourner, what version of screenlets are you using? You can check this by entering "apt-cache policy screenlets".

[Kjell Braden (afflux)]

This bug still exists when run with -u (0.0.12-0ubuntu2), as seen in bug 206930 and bug 208989 (and maybe others, I'm searching now).

Could you try to delete the screenlets and recreate it to see if the problem is still here ?
Thanks.

I've re-loaded Hardy and the screenlets, and they are better. I think it
might have to do with the widget plugin for Compiz, which needs to be
activated.
