cannot load some applets
Last modified: 2007-01-21 18:26:57 UTC
Please describe the problem: This is on amd64 (ubuntu feisty). I cannot load some of the applets; esp gweather-applet, gmixer-applet and the trash-applet. They all give a weird error in .xsession-errors: ** (gnome-panel:2814): WARNING **: panel-applet-frame.c:1267: failed to load applet OAFIID:GNOME_Panel_TrashApplet: Failed to resolve, or extend '!prefs_key=/apps/panel/applets/applet_10/prefs;background=none:;orient=down;size=x-small;locked_down=false Steps to reproduce: 1. Start gnome 2. Add the applet 3. See the error appear in .xsession-errors Actual results: Expected results: I would expect to see an applet appear Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: I've upgraded from a fully working gnome 2.16 env to 2.17 and no I cannot add some applets. Removing the '~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets' didn't help.
the gnome-applets packages from ubuntu was empty(!) on amd64, rebuilding the package myself fixes the problem. Note: an error like: 'can not find the applet' might be more meaningful.
