Hi all, I had the same problem (some, sometimes all, applets on the bottom panel dying "unexpectedly" on login) with a machine I'll call Box-1 for now.
Originally I thought that Box-1's mainboard or processor was faulty (thus leading to spurious segementation faults killing the applets). But today I installed a totally different machine (call it Box-2) on which the problem occurs not only sometimes on login, but is, so far, 100% reproducible (i.e. occurs on all logins). Both, Box-1 and Box-2 have been installed with Debian Sarge 3.1.0a / i386 by booting from CD-1 and pulling the rest of the packages over the internet. Since both machines are somewhat older and slower (700 Mhz Athlon and 350 Mhz Amd/K6_2) than the average, I keep wondering wether this might be a timing problem (i.e. the applets crash because some other part of gnome is slow in starting and is not yet providing some required functionality at the moment). Anyway: I'd would be happy to help to resolve that issue. Correction: Just discovered, it does not occur on all logins, but on almost all. Can't see a pattern yet.
