gnome-applets: The trash applet sometimes prevents Ubuntu GNOME desktop from loading

[George Talusan]

Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.9.2-0ubuntu4
Severity: important


Sometimes, it's unexplainable, when Ubuntu is logging into my GNOME
desktop the login procedure will freeze and I get a brown screen with a
partially loaded desktop.  The panels appear but their contents are empty.

I believe this issue is reported as a "stumper" problem on the
ubuntuforums.

Killing the trash applet lets the desktop finish initializing.
