Installing gnome-panel (1:2.30.0-0ubuntu2) below seemed to solve most of the issues. The clock applet still gives the error message even after the killall trick.
Additionally I found out several GNOME_*.server files with dummy content. The following files were full of 0xFF (possibly due to interrupted download the other day?): /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_Speech_SynthDriver_Speech_Dispatcher.server /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_SeahorseApplet.server /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_Panel_WirelessApplet.server /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_Panel_TrashApplet.server Overall I am pretty happy with the currently working functionality, the clock applet will be there some day. /usr/share/doc/libpanel-applet2-0/changelog.Debian.gz gnome-panel (1:2.30.0-0ubuntu2) lucid-proposed; urgency=low * debian/patches/90_git_new_unhidden.patch: - git change to fix an issue leading to new gnome-panel bars not being displayed until restart (lp: #525368) -- Sebastien Bacher <seb...@ubuntu.com> Fri, 28 May 2010 10:50:19 +0200 -- Gnome-panel fails to load various applets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426185 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
