Hi, I'm almost sure this is http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13334
I see this since quite some time. Everytime you "use" an applet (change setting, etc.), the applets "crash" on logout (I don't know exactly what happens, but i see a grey box in the upper left corner of my screen on logout). When you log back in the session manager somehow suddently wants to handle the applet (usually the panel handles them). They show up in the session-manager-capplet, with an help and and trash-can icon, too. Probably because the session-manager can't handle applets, the login splash hangs until you click on it.
