empty applet windows on desktop (gnome + compiz)

Hi,

After an update a couple of month ago I'm stuck with five empty applet windows starting on the desktop (4x wnck-applet 1x clock-applet). The windows of these applets are really small and are all positioned in the top left of the desktop. This behavoir is very annoying since I have to close these windows manually each time after login. The applets that I do want start up in the panels just fine. Does anybody know what the problem is and how this can be fixed?

I use gnome and compiz.

Thanks!

If you are having problems with your panel you can reset the panel to a default config by moving the copying the current panel config then deleting

cp -r .gconf  .gconf.old
rm -r .gconf/apps/panel 

Then logout and back in to test.
