From the looks of the output above the user has two version (2.2.2 and 2.4.0) of gnome-applets installed -- look above the line containing 'COUNTER'. I would suggest the older version(s) of gnome-applets in this case be remove and see if the errors go away. I had similar problems with baselayout and removing older versions took care of the problem. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
