Comment 13 for bug 164804

Gutsy 7.10 - vanilla
I am experiencing the same problem, the differences being that I only receive the following errors:

The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_Panel_TrashApplet"
The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_MixerApplet".

Usually this only happens when I log out, and log back into my account.
I also experience a system slowdown, although my root password still works!
After a complete restart, the errors usually don't occur.
Today was the first day I received the same set of errors after a full restart.

In addition Nautilus does not work, and my desktop wallpaper, and occasionally the panels themselves, fail to load.

However, Thunar does work, all be it slowly.
