After upgrading to gnome 2.12, and rebooting, my sticknotes and clock applets no longer load. I get the standard applet failed dialog: The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet". Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration? I also get the following in my ~/.xsession-errors ** (gnome-panel:20334): WARNING **: panel-applet-frame.c:1240: failed to load ap plet OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet: Failed to resolve, or extend '!prefs_key=/apps/panel/applets/applet_7/prefs;background=none:;orient=up;size=x-small;locked_down=false ** (gnome-panel:20334): WARNING **: panel-applet-frame.c:1240: failed to load applet OAFIID:GNOME_StickyNotesApplet: Failed to resolve, or extend '!prefs_key=/apps/panel/applets/applet_3/prefs;background=none:;orient=up;size=x-small;locked_down=false Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1, 2.6.11-gentoo-r9-chris-1 i686)================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r9-chris-1 i686 Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.12 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.10 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.16 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.is.co.za/linux/distributions/gentoo http://distfiles.gentoo.org/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 16bit X a52 aac aalib acl acpi alsa ao apm artworkextra asm asterisk avi bash-completion bonobo cairo caps cdparanoia crypt cups curl curlwrappers dbus dga divx4linux eds encode esd evo evo2 exif expat fam fame fbcon flac foomaticdb gb gdbm gif gimpprint glitz glut gmail gnome gnomedb gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hal howl icq imagemagick imlib java jpeg junit ldap libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx mmx2 mng mono mozilla mp3 mpeg mysql mythtv ncurses nls nptl nvidia offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pcre pdflib perl png ppds python quicktime readline real rtc samba sdl sis slang speex spell sqlite sse sse2 ssl svg svga tcltk theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts videos vorbis wmf xine xinerama xml2 xmms xprint xv xvid zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
Could you try removing and re-adding them?
Sorry, I should have said the following as well: I have tried 'emerge unmerge gnome-applets' and 'emerge gnome-applets' as well as removing the applets from the panel and adding them again. Gives the same results.
Clock stopped working for me, too. I re-emerged gnome-panel and it worked again. (Clock is part of gnome-panel). Stickynotes loads but immediately crashes, but I don't use them.
Thanks After re-emerging gnome-panel, clock and sticknotes work. I do not know why they did not work previously. It may be due to some ordering issues when running 'emerge gnome'.
