Please note: I don't really know which package to file this bug against, so
bear with me. ;)

Since upgrading to 2.24, I have noticed that programs no longer receive
notifications about settings being changed after I have been logged in for
a while.

For example, changing my desktop background or font preferences has no effect.

Another thing I have noticed is that I can't put new items on panels (though
new items do show up after a logout/login cycle).
