Description Nicolas Williams 2009-01-26 17:38:35 UTC 
When an applet crashes GNOME pops up a dialog asking whether to reload the applet.  Apparently the "don't reload" option also means "delete this applet from the panel whence it launched."  That's not at all obvious from the button label.  Please either add a third button offering to not reload and delete the applet or change the don't reload button to do just that and not delete the applet.

This function is handled by the gnome-panel code. Correcting the product field so the right people see it.

Closed by commit: 2a1faa93b8cdb12a8c0ff9d4fc870216a55fb5e0

We added a new button to delete the applet and "Dont' reload" will no longer delete the applet".
