Bug#413924: applets missing from gnome-panel

[Jim Cline]

Package: gnome-panel

In debian testing, I am running gnome-panel from fvwm (not gnome).  I 
recently was forced to upgrade packages including various gnome libraries, 
and had to reinstall gnome-panel.  When I restarted gnome-panel, a number 
of applets could not be loaded, including gweather, charpick and battstat. 
Error messages occurred when I tried to add them back to the panel. I 
could not find the executables anywhere on my system, so I went back to my 
backups and found them in the following locations:

/usr/lib/gnome-applets/gweather-applet-2
/usr/lib/gnome-applets/battstat-applet-2
/usr/lib/gnome-applets/charpick_applet2

After restoring these from my backup, I also had to restore some other 
files whose locations have been changed in the new gnome-panel, for 
example

/usr/share/gweather/Locations.xml
/usr/share/gconf/schemas/charpick.schemas

So now I have my gnome-panel working again, but obviously not in the way 
that was intended.  Does anyone know what might have gone wrong when I 
upgraded gnome-panel and associated packages?
