Uhm... yesterday's updates and a reboot later and the applets that i
normal use work.
Those include:
Clock
Disk Mounter
Notification Area
Show Desktop
Sticky Notes
System Monitor
Volume Control
Window List
Workspace Selector

Things to quickly check:
Did you do a full reboot after the updates? If not perhaps you have a
stale gconf process running that isnt seeing updated schema
information.

Did you updates fail to cleanup correctly? Assuming you are on a 32bit
system and you don't have to worry about multilib issues, you can
quickly look through your installed package list for duplicates with:
rpm -aq --queryformat "%{NAME}\n" | sort | uniq -c | grep -v -E " *1 "

You'll have to use something fancier on 64bit system to make sure you
don't count 32bit and 64bit packages as duplicates.
