Can't get applets into panel

[Roland Dreier <droland mail math okstate edu>]

Hi all, I've just started to try to play with gnome, and I checked the
sources out of CVS and managed to compile everything.  If I run
gnome-session, I get a panel, but I can't get it to add any applets.  When
it starts, I get the following messages:

SESSION_MANAGER=local/boskone.math.okstate.edu:/tmp/.ICE-unix/747,tcp/boskone.math.okstate.edu:18987

Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
