Hi everyone,
I have a rather odd problem. Whenever I login one of the applets in my
panel fails, and tries to start over and over again. Sometimes I need to
logout and log back in again to get it right. Usually it is the
xfapplet. I am using the gnome clock-applet with xfapplet, so that also
has this behaviour.
Now when I look at xfce4-taskmanager, I see multiple copies of both
these running. These are the output from ps,
> 08:47|jallad at bhishma:~>ps -ef|grep xfapplet
> jallad 2359 1 0 08:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/libexec/xfce4/panel-plugins/xfce4-xfapplet-plugin socket_id 159383627 name xfapplet id 12468228860 display_name XfApplet size 30 screen_position 2

Due to stupidity on my part I had to reinstall F11 a few days back. (my
system had become unbootable) Even in my previous install, I had a
similar problem but the application was xfce4-power-manager. Every time
I used to login, power-manager would start as many as 6-8 times. Since
the applications are different I am assuming its _not_ due to some
config in my /home.
I have a hunch that this might have something to do with the login
scripts for XFCE, which I have been unsuccessful in finding. So what I
am asking is, where do I look? And could there be any other
possibilities that could cause this? Am I trying to troubleshoot this in
the right way?
Thanks for any suggestions.
PS: I am on F11 x86_64
