Bug#425170: gnome-panel: "Some panel items no longer available" message keeps showing up

[David Lee Lambert]

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.14.3-5
Severity: normal

I start gnome-panel from my .fvwm2rc.  Every time I log in,  since I upgraded
to Debian 4.0,  an error-dialog pops up that reads:

"Some panel items are no longer available

One or more panel items (also referred to as applets) are no
longer available in the GNOME desktop.

These items will now be removed from your configuration:

You will not receive this message again.

						[OK]"

Based on the text of that message,  I would think I would only
see it one time;  but I see it every time I start gnome-panel.

The two panel items that no longer work,  and that I had in the panel before,
are the modemlights-applet and an applet (I can't remember the name) that
embedded an arbitrary X client in the panel (I was using it for xplanet).
