Gnome Applets problems after yum update

[Jerry Williams]

I have 7 Question windows that have to deal with the SystemTray asking me
 if I want to delete them from my configuration.

They say:
The panel encountered a problem while loading
"OFIID:GNOME_SystemTrayApplet"
"OFIID:GNOME_WindowListApplet"
"OFIID:GNOME_WorkspaceSwitcherApplet"
"OFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet"
"OFIID:GNOME_ShowDesktopApplet"
"OFIID:GNOME_MixerApplet"
"OFIID:GNOME_Panel_TrashApplet"

Running gnome-applets-2.13.2-2
So it looks like a don't have a system tray any longer.
Removed the package and loaded gnome-applets-2.13.2-1 and it had the same
problem.
Removed it and installed gnome-applets-2.13.1-4 from the original dvd.
Well it is still broken, so something else must be breaking it.

/var/log/messages had this:

Not sure if that helps any or not.

Any ideas on what else I can try?

2.6.15-1.1861_FC5 kernel, selinux disabled.

Thanks!
