Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
On a Natty i386 system with gnome-panel 1:2.32.1-0ubuntu6, without
graphics acceleration (so it is a classic desktop, even though the
session type in GDM is "Ubuntu Desktop Edition", I logged on, and
received messages indicating that all of the applets in my bottom panel
were unable to load, except for the Trash Applet. That is, the applets
that could not load were the Workspace Switcher, the Window List, and
the Show Desktop applets. Here were the exact error messages, each in
its own window (with "Error" as the title):
The panel encountered a problem while loading
"WnckletFactory::WorkspaceSwitcherApplet".
Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?
The panel encountered a problem while loading
"WnckletFactory::WindowListApplet".
Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?
The panel encountered a problem while loading
"WnckletFactory::ShowDesktopApplet".
Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?
I've attached a screenshot, showing the desktop with these message
boxes, as well as the mostly unpopulated bottom panel.
This bug looks like bug 716714; perhaps this is a duplicate of that bug.
I wasn't sure, so I decided to report it separately. There are a number
of other bugs involving the failure of panel applets to load (a couple
recent examples are bug 715706 and bug 727660), but as far as I can tell
only bug 716714 involves the failure of these specific three panel
applets to load. Two possibly notable differences between bug 716714 and
this one are that (1) bug 716714 took place with the live CD, and this
is with an installed system, and (2) the reporter of bug 716714 can
reproduce the bug, but it's not always those specific panels that are
unable to load (he indicates that in a previous run, it was the
Notification Area that failed to load). I have not yet attempted to
reproduce this.
