Description Chris Coulson 2009-01-19 17:43:31 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Most of the time when I log in, the gnome-volume-control-applet does not appear in the notification area. However, it appears to be running, according to the process list. If I kill the applet process and then restart it, it appears in the notification area correctly.

Looking in the desktop file, X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase is set to Panel, so I suspect that it is actually starting before gnome-panel has loaded (which starts in the same phase).

In addition to this, my ~/.xsession-errors contains the following entry: "x-session-manager[4730]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-volume-control-applet.desktop' failed to register before timeout". Again, I suspect this is due to the phase which the applet is starting in.

Commenting out the line "X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase=Panel" in the desktop file fixes both problems.

Steps to reproduce:

Does this happen every time?
