USP Error Message: "OAFIID:GNOME_USP"

[Uncle Spellbinder]

I get multiple error messages when trying to add the USP to the panel. Here's the kicker. It also happens when trying to add anything to the panel.

Ideas???

What did you change or do before this started happening....
ie) change your hostname, install something,......etc.

Oooops. Sorry. Just a bit frustrated....

I reinstalled totem. Something about gnome desktop flashed after the re-install. I rebooted and immediately the messages started.

How did you go about reinstalling, synaptic?
did you get any errors when you did this, other then the pop up window?

maybe something broke as you were installing something
could try
laptop:~$ dpkg --configure -a

I just tried dpkg --configure -a, nothing changed. I already have, and just used Automatix, to try and reinstall again. Used Synapric initially. The message regarding gnome desktop was so quick, I could not read it. Other than that, just the popups each time I try to add USP or anything to the panel.

Have no clue how it happened, but somehow reinstalling totem borked everything up. I figured I'd try sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop. This worked as the missing packages were installed:

Setting up python2.4-gnome2-desktop (2.14.0-0ubuntu2) ...

Setting up python-gnome2-desktop (2.14.0-0ubuntu2) ...
Setting up deskbar-applet (2.14.2-0ubuntu1) ...

Setting up serpentine (0.6.91-0ubuntu3) ...

Setting up totem-gstreamer (1.4.3-0ubuntu1) ...

Setting up totem (1.4.3-0ubuntu1) ...
Setting up ubuntu-desktop (0.120) ...

Rebooted, all is well. Now re-installing Compiz.

Also try running usp from a terminal:
usp run-in-window

It helps figuring out what the problem is.

FWIW, this was probably the culprint.
