Running Ubuntu 10.04.4 & Kernel 2.6.32-49-generic & GNOME 2.30.2 on Dell 1145 laptop.
A boot message arose as follows:
The panel encountered a problem while load "OAFIID:GNOME_ShowDestopApplet"
Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?
Its repeated occurrence led me to choose 'Delete'.
The result is the Bottom Panel contains only Trash & anattenuated Workspace Switch display (small single window).
The Show Desktop and "Application Icons" are not there.
I can get by but with far too much care as to what is running, since the Desktop Bottom Panel does not contain the usual icons.
I hope there is some APT_GET-like path or 'Synaptic Package Manger'-like path, something simpler than reinstalling Ubuntu.
Thee seems likely a gnome boot script that may require editing.
