MATE Notification area, clock, workspace-switcher, window-list fail to load on mate-panel after recent upgrade.

Tim Stoddard

After a recent upgrade to 14.0-RELEASE-p6 the mate-panel fails to load widgets. I have tried "mate-panel --reset" to no avail. I also tried reinstalling all of the mate-* packages using "portmaster mate-*" and am still experiencing the problem. I am at a loss as to what to try next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, dbus is enable and running.

$service dbus status
dbus is running as pid 1779.
$ps ax |grep dbus

This is what I get when the panel restarts.

I have the same issue, but I think my system was upgraded to p6 much earlier.
This started to happen after a recent pkg update && pkg upgrade
The update seems solving one minor inconvenience with ffmpeg...
But cause a few others with mate-panel :/
 
The fix has been posted in other threads, and it worked for me. All one needs to do is install dconf-editor, which is apparently necessary with MATE 1.28.
