gnome-panel applets crash

[Andrew Clausen <clausen alphalink com au>]

Hi,

None of the applets work: the applets all crash before making it onto
the panel.  Here's a sample session with modem-lights:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/modemlights_applet
message: Initializing CORBA for applet


** ERROR **: Could not communicate with the panel
