I had a similar problem on Fedora 7, which I worked-around by adding a line to /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default . The line I added is:
[ -d /tmp/orbit-$USER ] && rm -Rf /tmp/orbit-$USER Basically, the /tmp/orbit-username/linc-* files were persisting after the X/GDM session had ended. This was causing the problems with GNOME applets. This is a workaround, not a fix. It may cause unexpected behavior when you have concurrent logins as the same user. -- Gnome Login Error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164804 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-applets in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
