Just upgraded to gnome 2.30.2 I got problems with gnome-panel. My applets like clock are not shown and when clicking on "add to panel" the whole panel freezes. The bottom-panel shows none windows opened although there are actually some open.. When I log into a fresh GNOME session I am able to click for example at "Applications" and starting apps there is also no problem. So I think the problem lies in gnome-applets, but I'm not sure. Hope you guys can help me with that, because without panels working properly I can't work productive anymore :( Tried reinstalling gnome-panel and gnome-applets but this didn't fix the problem. Also checked logs but could not find anything regarding this.. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log into fresh GNOME Session 2. 3. Actual Results: Applets are not displayed. When clicking "Add to panel" the whole panel freezes. Also the bottom panel isn't show any windows which are actually open. Expected Results: Applets are shown. When clicking at "add to panel" it would be glad if the panel won't freeze. At the bottom panel would like to see opened windows as normal..

I remerged some packages which are deps from gnome-panel but it didn't help. Does anyone got at least a hint for me? I would like to try something before I remerge the whole world with my old Pentium M CPU

Yes, I can reproduce this with any user.
Which packages could be related to this? Merging world would take too long for me
Could you run revdep-rebuild ?

I pinned it down to a somehow incompatible glib (2.22->2.24). So rebuilt every package depending on glib (equery depends glib), and it started working again. But I still wonder why it happened in the first place, according to the changelog glib 2.24 shoul be binary compatible to 2.22, so revdep-rebuild was of no use. Mabe related to the new linker flags?

Definitely possible that this is related to the new linker flags. I mark this as fixed.
Maybe it was caused by dev-libs/dbus-glib since we see some people suffering problems with it after glib updates needing to rebuild dbus-glib to get their systems ok. The problem is that I am still unable to reproduce that problem on my machines and I don't know what causes it :-(
Created attachment 246356 [details] .xsession-errors I'm still having this issue, I've re-emerged everything having to do with glib, I'm going to try and run emerge -e gnome today. I'm still getting errors like the attached: Though this may be a different bug, the symptoms are almost exactly the same (gnome-panel dies, and the rest of gnome is marginally stable at best)
Is there any way to re-open this bug?
Your case looks different, in your xsession-errors I can see crashes, problems for opening X... Please open a different bug report if the problem persists after "emerge -e world" you are going to run and after testing on a new created user account
