Bug 64634

Description of problem:
I add an applet to the bar and it works. Then I restart X and there is a icon of
the gnome foot with a black background in the place of the last added applet. It
acts like an applet but all it lets you do is remove, aka a dummy applet. If I
add more than one per X session each new applet will be replaced by a dummy
applet. I tried checking ~/.gnome/panel.d/default/Applet_Config and the entry
for a new applet seems to be valid, but of course doesn't work. If I edit the
end of Applet_Config like below before restarting X then the applet works fine,
even after multiple restarts.

[Applet_9]
id=Extern
goad_id=glms_applet
position=594
panel=0
unique_panel_id=10000001
right_stick=true

[Applet_10]
id=Empty

[Applet_9]
id=Extern
goad_id=gtele_applet
position=594
panel=0
unique_panel_id=10000001
right_stick=true

[Applet_10]
id=Extern
goad_id=glms_applet
position=753
panel=0
unique_panel_id=10000001
right_stick=true

Where glms was the added applet, but was set to empty after the panel failed to
load it and put a dummy applet in it's place.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start X
2. Load eight applets
3. Restart X
4. Load 2 more applets
5. Restart X


	

Actual Results:  Dummy applets in the place of newly added applets

Expected Results:  All applets to load correctly every time.

Additional info:

The reporudcibility seems to be related to how many applets are added. I started
noticing a problem around 8 applets.
