GNOME_ClockApplet doesn't always load

I finally decided to upgrade from my old reliable Redhat 9 to Fedora 8.
For the most part it works great. I am having problems with
GNOME_ClockApplet
and GNOME_WorkspaceSwitcherApplet, where they do not always appear on
the panel

when I log in. Here are the pop-up errors I get:

=============
The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet".
The panel encountered a problem while loading
"OAFIID:GNOME_WorkspaceSwitcherApplet".

=============

Sometimes they appear on the Gnome panel and sometimes they do not.
Here is the

output of .xsession-errors:

Does anyone out there know what the cause of this is and what the fix is?

I think the first thing people will ask is how you did the "upgrading"?
Did you upgrade from one to the other, over the top? Did you replace
the old with a completely new installation on reformatted drives?

I installed F8 on a new disk, copied everyone's /home directories to
the disk, and then created new accounts that matched the same user/group
numbers for everyone's account.

I did it this way to preserve the original look and feel for everyone
in my family (7 accounts). This retained the single panel bar and single
"main menu" on the panel bar. I suspect that this might have something
to do with the problems I'm experiencing.

Thanks,

Did you wipe out the /tmp directory during the upgrade?

I say this because I have had this issue on F7 and all I have had to do
was clean out the /tmp directory.
