hi, after login i got a message that an error occurred to notification
area applet and there were two options, delete the applet configuration
and don’t delete. i selected “don’t delete” and rebooted, hoping the
error was just for that session, but after rebooting the message
prompted again and then i clicked on the “delete” button. now this
applet is missing from the applets list when right clicking to panel and
then “add to panel…”. i reinstalled the gnome-applets package but no
results.
any hints how to get this applet back?
still looking for a solution. maybe i should reinstall some other
packages, not just gnome-applets (not sure if notification area applet
is included there). the point is that i don’t want to reinstall opensuse
and everything else from scratch
Hi
Have you right-clicked on the panel and then add, scroll down the list
and add it back (notification area).
Have you added and application recently in the startup which may be
causing the failure, if so delete this from the startup.

like i sad in the first post the notification area applet is missing
when i right to the panel and then select “add to panel”. seems like it
has been deleted.
yes i have added fusion-icon to startup (which places an icon on the
notification area when starts). do you think that’s what caused the
error. anyway the problem now is getting back this applet, how do i
reinstall it, or if it hasn’t been removed, how do i get it back on the
applets list when i right click on the panel and add to panel?
i also had nm-applet (network applet) added on startup, which prompts
this message “Enter password for default keyring to unlock” when
connecting to wep networks, anyway the problem now is notification
applet has gone, so neither nm-applet or fusion icon is showing on the
taskbar anymore… help
Hi
Have you resized or locked the notification area, this can sometimes
hide them. For the nm-applet, check in the Control
Center->System->Sessions, there should be an entry for 'Network
Manager, if not, the following are the settings;
Name: Network Manager
Command: nm-applet --sm-disable
Comment: Control your network connections

hi malcolmlewis, i think you have misunderstood me sorry for not
being clear. the notification area applet seems to have been
deleted/uninstalled, it is no longer listed in the applets list when i
right click to the panel and click add to panel after the error/crash
occurred. the error message was something like this:
“An error has occurred to GNOME notification area applet…
…do you want to delete its configuration?”
there were 2 buttons, “don’t delete” and “delete”. First i clicked on
“don’t delete” but after rebooting the message prompted again and then i
clicked on “delete” button.
now my question is how do i get back or reinstall or restore this
applet, there must be a way to get it back except reinstalling the whole
system?
