Public bug reported:
When I first invoke the deskbar applet after I've logged in, I type a
few characters and the window becomes unresponsive.
However, it's an odd kind of "unresponsive" because the window manager
(both compiz and metacity) don't notice that it's dead, and don't offer
me the option to force quit. Compiz does not desaturate it as it
normally would for an application that's frozen.
If I kill the applet directly and then select "reload" when the panel
asks me if I should reload the applet, it seems to work fine.
Running strace on the hung process wasn't too helpful; it just says it's
blocked in a futex_wait. Even odder, if I strace it before I attempt to
do anything with it, the bug does not occur, so it seems like a pretty
twitchy race condition.
