Public bug reported: Today, the mixer applet stopped working. If I try to add it to the panel, all I get is:
The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_MixerApplet". Also every time I log in I get a message that the gnome settings daemon restarted too many times, although everything else on my desktop works. I see the following on the terminal: ** (mixer_applet2:12915): WARNING **: FIXME: wait for completion unimplemented ** (mixer_applet2:12907): WARNING **: Failed to send buffer ** (mixer_applet2:12907): WARNING **: Failed to send buffer (mixer_applet2:12907): Bonobo-CRITICAL **: bonobo_object_unref: assertion `ao != NULL' failed (mixer_applet2:12907): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_image_set_from_pixbuf: assertion `GTK_IS_IMAGE (image)' failed I can't tell what image it's talking about.
