I used to get this on Trusty and Gnome, and now it has reappeared on Xenial and MATE. For a while it didn't appear but there's clearly something wrong.
Sadly, the log is rather useless. ** (mate-panel:3282): WARNING **: Failed to load applet TrashAppletFactory::TrashApplet: ** Tags added: xenial ** Tags added: i386 ** Tags added: arm64 ** Attachment added: ".xsession-errors" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mate-applets/+bug/1574841/+attachment/5201210/+files/.xsession-errors ** Also affects: gnome-applets (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-applets (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Tags added: bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-applets in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574841 Title: The panel encountered a problem while loading "TrashAppletFactory::TrashApplet".
