Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

I run a bunch of panel applets, and have had many of them fail to start on 
login.
Unfortunately I do not remember the error message, but it will happen again, so 
when it does I'll write down the error message and post an update.

So far, applets that have failed this way are:
Indicator Applet Session
Clock
Hardware Monitor
Gnome Sensor Applet

Usually nothing fails. Occasionally just one of these will fail. Rarely, more 
than one will fail.
If I immediately log out and log back in, the failed panel applet is working 
again.

On a related note, the "Camera Monitor" applet quite often (but not
always) brings up an error message claiming it is already running on
login. This failure is not as annoying as it does not require a logout
to recover from.

Since this affects so many different applets, I do not believe the
problem is in the applets themselves, instead it must be in the gnome
panel.
