Description of Problem: When I want to add some applet to the gnome-panel (menu, edge, ...) I can see some small stupid icon and no action, it means no applet running, etc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fresh installed RedHat 7.2 Enigma from beta.redhat.com gnome-applets-1.4.0.1-6 How Reproducible: simple install fresh RedHat 7.2 and try to add some applets, oh yeah, some applets works, so for instance mini_commander and others from utilities didn't work Actual Results: some applets works, most of them not Expected Results: all applets working
It looks like not reproducible now. Sometimes I can run applets, sometimes I can't. I restart my X & Gnome and everything works nice, restart again and I can't run applets, ...
I have additional info and screen shots for you ... 1) applets_working.jpg - fresh computer boot, fresh gnome start - adding my two applets and they are work - you can see this applets in screenshot 2) applets_non_working.jpg - I'm at point 1) and I only restart gnome from menu item from upper menu panel (Workspace -> Logout) - login and all my previous applets are not working, there are two icons as you can see in screen shot 3) applets_gnome_restart_after_non_working_applets.jpg - now, I have two stupid icons instead of applets - trying to restart gnome by the same way, Menu panel -> Workspace -> Logout and panel is going to die and nothing happens, it means that sawfish is still running but no restart here and no possibility to do something else, so I must hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, login again and I have no applets and no icons as you can see in last panel screen shot but I can add these applets again and I'm back at step 1), I have working applets till my next gnome restart

Things work for most people; this is some unusual transient failure. I don't have many insights. At this point few fixes are going in to GNOME 1.x, new development is on GNOME 2, so deferring most GNOME 1.x bugs.
