Okay, a bunch of questions:
Do you notice it disappearing, or do you only notice that it doesn't
appear when you log in? (If you do notice it disappearing, I don't
suppose a dialog comes up saying that the tasklist applet has crashed,
does it?)
Do you log out by double-clicking on the logout button at the lower
right of the screen?
Also, if you don't mind adding the following to your .cshrc.mine
temporarily:
unlimit coredumpsize
setenv GNOME_DISABLE_CRASH_DIALOG 1
Then the next time you notice tasklist is gone, you can look for a core
file in your homedir. You can "file core" to see if it's from
tasklist_applet or something similar; if it is, you can move it into
your Public directory and send mail here, and we can analyze it.
