Did this happen after a "Switch User"?

I have seen where the panel applications died for gnome users after 
running switch user.  On F7, I deleted all the files and directories in 
the /tmp directory for the user affected and then panel applets started 
working again.  It still happens and I have yet to install F10 on this 
machine.
