Sorry, I switched the file names in the previous post!  If I move the
session file (the one that is saved with gnome-session-save) and restart
gnome, Gdesklets icon comes up on the splash screen only.  The panel
notification area does not show it... When I go to a terminal and type
gdesklets start, it starts up and the icon appears in the notification
area. I can start other programs with the startup file fine, for
instance I could add xmms to the startup dialogue and it would start
as expected when I logged in to gnome.  I know this is frustrating but
this is what I have been trying to troubleshoot for the past month or
so.  I have even wiped out the install ( rm -rf  usr/share/gdesklets )
and reinstalled from source and with apt but that didn't work!

Thanks for your suggestions,
Darius
