Bug#334704: xfree86 update broke several gnome applets

[Brice Goglin]

Hi,

About 1 year ago, you reported (or replied to) a bug in the Debian BTS
regarding gnome applets breaking after XFree86 upgrade.
Did any of you guys reproduce this problem recently? If not, I will
close this bug in the next weeks.

Thanks,
Brice

Bug#334704: xfree86 update broke several gnome applets

[Joergen Bergmann]

Package: xfree86 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1
Debian Release: sarge

The same for me. I suppose also, that it's related to xfree, because of 
the date the problem occurred (gnome-applets-package is to old).
The applets workspaceswitcher  and window list are problematic on 
start-up.


ps axf shows no processes from gnome/applets, only gdm is running. Every 
3-4 starts the gnome applets crashes, even after reboot.


Best regards,

Jörgen

 since the update of 19/09/2005, when the gnome desktop environment

 The Window List applet appears to have died unexpectedly.
 Do you want to reload this applet?
 (if you choose not to reload it at this time you can always add it by 
 right clicking on the panel and clicking on the Add to panel submenu)
 
 I also have this problem with Workspace switcher and Show Desktop 
 applets. Moreover, it seems that applets load slower than before the 
 update and sometimes I've got a problem with the gnome-terminal applet: 
 I click on it, wait a few seconds with the please wait mouse pointer 
 and nothing, and I can't run the gnome-terminal no more neither by 
 the applet nor by the menu (nor by run a command).

Why do you think this is related to xfree86? Problems like this are
usually caused by GNOME components. In particular, make sure that
there's no stray GNOME background processes from a previous session.
