In this bug, the resolution is to log in again, because dbus is not running:  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=366899

From the number of reports, it is fairly common problem, so the fix should be: 
1, make sure that dbus is always runs in any user session
2, this deskbar applet gets started after dbus is started
3, check that if dbus is not available, degrade gracefully, not with a big crash message.

Am I missed something?
