Ah, one more - for the patched version above, to get the icon to show in panel via Add to Panel, or via command line (check the name of the panels first via `ls ~/.gconf/apps/panel/toplevels`):
python /usr/lib/gnome-panel/gnome-panel-add --applet="OAFIID:Invest_Applet" --panel="panel_0" ... just change the line (in /usr/lib/gnome-applets/invest-applet): gnomeapplet.bonobo_factory('OAFIID:Invest_Applet', ... into: gnomeapplet.bonobo_factory('OAFIID:Invest_Applet_Factory', -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-applets in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/775387 Title: Invest-applet fails to start after upgrade to Natty Status in “gnome-applets” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-applets Bug occurred immediately after upgrade from Maverick to Natty. (I am now using the Ubuntu Classic desktop, to retain Gnome stuff) gnome-applets version: 2.32.1.1-0ubuntu5 I expected the Invest applet to be visible in my Gnome toolbar after the upgrade; however although other applets are present (system monitor, weather, etc) I cannot see the Invest icon. Attempting to add it back does not give any errors messages, however it does not appear. Attempting to run the applet from the command line produces the following output: tobyc@adonai:~$ /usr/lib/gnome-applets/invest-applet -d 2011-05-02 17:18:52.192521: Debugging enabled 2011-05-02 17:18:52.192570: Data Dir: /usr/share/gnome-applets/invest-applet 2011-05-02 17:18:52.192585: Detected PROXY: None A "ps" command shows that the applet is now running - however it still does not appear anywhere in my visible toolbars. Killing and restarting the applet also does not help. Ditto for rebooting. Any way I can help debug this?
