Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

I'm currently having the same issue with an up-to-date Karmic.
Apport generated a bugreport, but I've seen this one and didn't want to make a duplicate.
Please tell me what informations you need.
Regards

It seems to me that both applet try to connect to the same dbus resource and that crashses.
Now the dbus interface is under heavy devlopment so maybe this kind of things can be sorted out.

Anyway, this is a non very common uses case, so it shouldn't be really a problem. But maybe we can catch the error and show a nicer warning.

Thanks for the report :-)

This happens to me all the time under Karmic.

Usually when it happens, I'm not actively using the hamster UI. It just dies, and then re-spawns pretty frequently ( a few times an hour ). At least I don't have to re-start the current task! ;)
