Bug#338828: gnome-panel: "applet appears to have died unexpectedly" at login

[David Olsson]

I'm getting the same behavior, the three applets
"dying unexpectedly" when starting up Gnome.  I
installed Debian 3.1 from some early CDs on this Cyrix
MII-333 machine with 128 MB RAM.  This problem did not
occur.  Only after I connected to the online
repository and did a massive update of installed
programs did this start happening.  Note that I am
using only packages from stable/main.

As the person above, I wonder if there is a race
condition that these slower machines are hitting.

This bug should be merged with 331000.
