Is this is bug that will be fixed before integration or an architectural 
issue that it can't start up by default ?

The fix for that bug is a bit of a nasty hack in my opinion. It is 
pointing out an architectural problem.  The problem being that the 
gnome-panel applets run in the "Trusted Path" yet some of them should 
actually be running at the workspace label, this cases applet being of 
the former type.

However I don't expect this case to fix that architectural problem.
That however leaves us with the situation that this case only partially 
works when using a Trusted Extensions multi level desktop and that is 
bad.   I think this case is useful and I don't want to hold it up.  I 
also have a feeling (with zero evidence) that many of our traditional TX 
customer base would turn off the trackerd functionality anyway.
