This is an interrelated but with evolution-data-server. When logging out of session evolution-data-server keeps running since it is detached from the session. However this prevents bonobo-activation-server from shutting down, but it still works when I log back in. The problem that occurs is that drivemount_applet no longer shows on the taskbar when I login again. This is fixed by killing evolution-data-server, which then bonobo-activation-server shuts down.If I logout, and login and try to add drivemount_applet it won't show either, but the applet does load into memory. The drivemount_applet just won't show on the taskbar after logging out, and logging back in.

Do you have any accounts configured in evolution? Could you attach strace and/or gdb (using http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml) to see if it's waiting for something or actively working on something? Thanks

Could you rebuild glib too and rerun e-d-s in gdb? I'm 99% sure we're going to see a g_idle_event_* something but just to be sure :) Thanks

This bug also occurs with evolution-data-server-1.10
This occurs with evolution-data-server-1.10.1 Sorry about the dup.
I'm having a similar problem with other panel applets. bluetooth-applet and gnome-power-manager refused to show in the panel even after a system reboot. I had to manually kill and re-launch them in each new Gnome session to get them to appear. As for the Tomboy applet, 4 out of 5 times gnome-panel would hang permanently when Tomboy was loading. So I reinstalled the Bonobo libs and then the applets, and that fixed the problem with Tomboy and bluetooth-applet. Unfortunately it didn't fix gnome-power-manager, and that's quite annoying being that this is on my laptop. Seems like there could be some misaligned versions somewhere. I'm using the Gnome 2.18 packages from package.mask BTW, and I don't use Evolution (it's not even configured).

gnome-power-manager is a known issue with 2.18.x. It's not an applet, it's a tray icon, so it doesn't use bonobo. It's a gtk+ bug, already filed upstream.
And I should have mentioned: the workaround for g-p-m is: killall gnome-power-manager && gnome-power-manager I have to do this every time I log in. It's running, it's icon just doesn't show up in the tray.
(In reply to comment #10) > And I should have mentioned: the workaround for g-p-m is: > > killall gnome-power-manager && gnome-power-manager Yeah I've already been doing this as a workaround. Thanks for clearing up my confusion over g-p-m's non-applet status. Anyhow, I'm still left wondering why the other two applets, Tomboy and bluetooth-applet, only started showing up in the panel after I rebuilt them, Bonobo, and gnome-panel (the latter I forgot to specify earlier).
Beats me. They've worked for me all along. Possibly a dependency library mismatch? Try a revdep-rebuild -p and see if anything suspicious shows up as causing a rebuild.
revdep-rebuild didn't reveal anything before or after I rebuilt Bonobo et. al., so I just made an educated guess about which ebuilds might be involved and I got lucky.
*** Bug 182489 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The original problem (ie, drivemount_applet doesn't show in the panel on the second login) is still happening for me with the following versions: gnome 2.20.3 gnome-applets 2.20.1 gnome-panel 2.20.3 libbonobo 2.20.4 The symptoms are as reported above; the applet seems to load into memory just fine, and killing it and restarting it does *not* make it appear on the panel. It always appears in the panel on the first login after a fresh boot in the morning, but never on any subsequent logins (even after my wife logs in/out using a non-Gnome session). Any tips on a workaround for this?
Doh! I don't know I didn't think of this a few minutes ago (maybe I thought it was already enabled) but the workaround for gdm seems to be to enable the "always restart X server" option. I swear I remember that option being in the login manager config GUI, but just now I couldn't find it (although it's still in the factory-gdm.conf file). I just manually added the following to the [daemon] section of my custom.conf: AlwaysRestartServer=true and when I looged back in, the drivemount_applet appeared as it should in the panel. Yay... Since the above is not the default, I'm not sure if there's anything else that expects something in the environment to be preserved across logouts/logins; ie, I haven't seen anything else break yet, but one never knows...
(In reply to comment #16) > I just manually added the following to the [daemon] section of my custom.conf: > > AlwaysRestartServer=true @Brian, does editing your gdm.conf like Steve did help? Thanks
The default sis for the X server to restart since gnome 2.20. The bug is fixed in gnome 2.22 so I'm not experiencing it. This is actually an upstream bug that was worked on for a long time.
