Bug#352461: gnome-panel: icons do not work and applets disappeared after upgrade

[Brice Goglin]

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.12.2-3
Severity: important

Hi,

After upgrading my testing tonight, my gnome panel does not work at all anymore.
Icons/drawers are still shown but they do not react to any clicks.
No applet is shown anymore. Some (wnck-applet and xscreensaver) appears to be
running anyway. The others are not not running according to ps (workspace switcher,
sticky notes, window list, battery, network, weather, cpufreq, multiload and volume).

Fortunately, I managed to fix this by downgrading with snapshot.debian.net to
gnome-panel 2.10.2-1 (only needed to downgrade/install gnome-panel-data, libecal1.2,
libgnome-menu0 and libwnck16).

Regards,
Brice
