I've just tried to add the cpufreq applet from gnome-applets to my panel, but I immediately get the message that the applet cannot be added. The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_CPUFreqApplet". Below is output from .xsession-errors. I'm not sure if all output is related to the cpufreq applet. Any hints on further debugging this are appreciated. (gnome-panel:25104): Bonobo-WARNING **: add_listener failed 'Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0'' ** (gnome-panel:25104): WARNING **: panel-applet-frame.c:1363: failed to load applet OAFIID:GNOME_CPUFreqApplet (cannot get popup component): Error checking error; no exception (gnome-panel:25104): Gtk-WARNING **: A floating object was finalized. This means that someone called g_object_unref() on an object that had only a floating reference; the initial floating reference is not owned by anyone and must be removed with g_object_ref_sink().
I can confirm this. I initially thought this would have something to do with dbus permissions...

don't you have bug-buddy kicking in ? I got this on my x86 but it is not able to change cpu frequency (too old for that) and it's erroring out in gconf calls probably because if unchecked value of parameters.
No, no bug-buddy. Just the popup on startup with the message and the 'delete' / 'don't delete' buttons. I'm not sure if it's possible to set cpufreq on this machine which is why I tried out the applet in the first place. It's has an i7 core, I'm not sure that is already supported and whether I have all the correct options enabled for it.
The same thing happens to me now, ever since (I believe) the upgrade to 2.26.1. Unfortunately, it's not just the cpufreq applet. It's most (if not all) of the applets part of the gnome-applets package.
Seems like the sabayon people are also having issues after the upgrade: http://forum.sabayonlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=86&t=17160
I don't know why, but the CpuFreqApplet loaded correctly in my panel but I couldn't change either the freq or the governor. Anyway after upgrading to gnome-power-manager-2.26.2 from the gnome overlay (and installing devicekit and upgrading to hal-0.5.12_rc1-r6 with policykit as required) this applet works now correctly. I'm on amd64.

Interestingly enough the CPUFreq applets suddenly started working for me, but I have not made any changes to my system.
I'm still having a lot of issues with gnome-applets (not just the cpufreq applet).
Today, after upgrade of my ~amd64 box gnome-applets started to work fine. Upgrade was x11-misc/xkeyboard-config-1.6, dev-perl/Archive-Zip-1.28, gnome-base/gconf-2.26.2-r1, x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.1.901-r3 but I suppose gconf fixed the issue.
gnome-base/gconf-2.26.2-r1 only re-actived a bit of macros used to avoid big problem (like crash) for some apps, however i can see in your xsessions-error you've a bonobo-WARNING and a Gtk-WARNING, if the problem was gconf you saw "Gconf-CRITICAL" or something else i think, and gtk and bonobo doesn't use gconf ;). what about the warning ? still present ?
no need to CC us since we are assigned. Closing since gconf-2.26.2-r1 should fix this. Please open another bug if it doesn't fix it for you it'll avoid confusion with other reporters of this bug. Thanks for reporting.

No, the warning is gone. Bug this was all before I upgraded gconf to 2.26.2-r1... Anyway fine to close this for me as I'm not sure what we could do anymore.

@Haans, what you could do now if you have time for it is revert to gconf-2.26.2, and report upstream bugs for each applets not loading because this would mean that those applet do not use libgconf2 correctly. Something for the rainy days I guess :)
