If you are short of resources you might want to try installing a

I just checked, and I already have Visual Effects == "None."

Pretty consistently, if I immediately log OUT, then log back in, the same
things will load without problems.

The other "annoyances" are plausibly "just" resource shortages. ?This one
smells more like a race condition when gnome-panel is trying to start its
applets.

Try this on. Hypothesis: Configuration data that Gnome can cache for a fast-load is invalidated by apt when it runs triggers for menu. The race condition involves the order in which gnome-panel is launching the applets. Here is a peculiar commonality: the applets that fail are all anchored on the RIGHT side of the panel -- can the failure be in the way the applet panel-display shifts position to accommodate displays on their right side?
