Folks:
	Is anyone using a recent a GNOME package from pkgsrc succesfully?
	Discounting the core files from various gnome components I see in 
	my home directory, things work mostly OK with one BIG exception.

	No matter how many times I configure the panel, when I restart X
	(either because I logged out, rebooted the box, etc.), I lose all
	panel settings for 'external' applets.  It looks like the files in 
	~/.gnome/panel.d/ all are present and look AFAICT correct.  However,
	my clock applet, CPU load applet and mixer applet never stay more 
	than a session (sometime, I can't even add them, they simply never 
	make it to the panel).

	I'm trying to track it down, but I know next to nothing about GNOME, 
	so I figured I'd see if others had seen this and solved/worked around
	it in some way.  If not, I'll file a PR when I figure out a bit more.

Thanks!
