The bug was tagged fixed-upstream because the upstream bug
was closed, but it wasn't really fixed. They closed it as wontfix,
saying that a desktop without applets and extensions is worse
than a metacity desktop and that we should just really force
metacity onto people, which I disagree with.
In my opinion, the fallback to no-applets/no-extensions is what
makes the most sense to let the user know what's happening and
let them fix it. However, this is a non-trivial amount of work, so
if upstream is not willing to do it or even to carry it if we do it,
then it's not really worth the time.
I guess this bug will stay as wontfix.
