Lots broken after upgrading yesterday

[Kevin Oberman]

Sorry! I forgot most everything I should have attached. And it probably
doesn't matter.

After a reboot, things seem to be OK again on the system at hand. I'll
try rebooting the other systems later today. After the reboot, the
gnome-settings-daemon did not die, but all of my applets were gone from
both panels and I had to re-set everything

The system went through some VERY odd behavior and I am not comfortable
with what I see in /usr/lib, but I doubt that it has anything to do with
this as I have rebuilt the system. It suddenly could not find shared
libraries like libutil and libncurses.

How all of this weirdness fits together, I can't say, but it seems to be
OK again. 


In case it is of any interest, here is what I found before the re-build
of the system:

FreeBSD pak.es.net 5.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #22: Mon May 17 11:01:16 PDT 2004     oberman at pak.es.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PAKv5  i386

Manually running the gnome-settings-daemon works, but there are errors:
** (gnome-settings-daemon:43380): WARNING **: Unexpected error in waitpid() (No child processes)

** (gnome-settings-daemon:43380): WARNING **: Command xrdb -merge failed

Once I had this running, my fonts and stuff are all back to normal,
but applets still failed. I get a pop-up window with the message:

"The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_GWeatherApplet".
Details: Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/INV_OBJREF:1.0'

"Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?"

I had no applets running in either of my two panels, only the
"Applications" and "Actions" menus, and icons for home, logout, lock,
Gnometerminal, and a swallowed calculator launcher.
