OK. Killed the applet. Started mixer_applet2 in terminal and it just
runs but does not return. Add applet into panel and it runs fine
without any errors. So that's good.

However, as soon as kill mixer_applet2 I get the same error back
straight away and on next logon.

Is mixer_applet2 meant to be running as a daemon or started some other
way?? I suspect that might be the issue and maybe the gnome panel
applet can't talk to it??
