  I'm having this problem with the latest released software -
gnome-core-0.99.2, gnome-libs-0.99.2, glib-1.1.12, gtk-1.1.12, etc.  Also
using Linux 2.1.132, glibc-2.0.7, on a P166.  How it happens seems to
change, but the end product is the same - death to my applets.  Or at
least some.  I'm running the clock, the fish, modem lights, and mailcheck. 
Clock seems to be the one bombing out, and generally takes mailcheck with
it.  The other two seem to be working fine.. everything has been pretty
stable since I've stopped trying to load clock.
