This would probably be caused by an upgrade of gnome-core, rather than
gnome-libs.  Code was added to try to catch applets crashing and ask the
user if they wanted to restart them.

You may be able to fix the problem by calling applet_widget_remove() on
your app's applet when exiting.  This way, it won't just look like the
applet died.
