I get an error in parse in gnome-panel. It is in catalan. The translation is that the '%' character is not valid at the begin of an entity name, entities start with '&' character:

** (gnome-panel:3108): WARNING **: Error in parse: S'ha produït un error en la línia 94: El caràcter '%' no és vàlid a l'inici d'un nom d'entitat; les entitats comencen amb el caràcter &. Si amb aquest signe no es vol indicar una entitat,substituïu-lo per &

** (gnome-panel:3108): WARNING **: S'ha produït un error en la línia 94: El caràcter 'o és vàlid a l'inici d'un nom d'entitat; les entitats comencen amb el caràcter &. Si amb aquest signe no es vol indicar una entitat,substituïu-lo per &
(application/octet-stream)    GNOME_Wncklet_Factory.server (93.6 KiB)
This task depends upon

I think this is a weird i18n bug in the gnome-panel translation. What locale are you using (in style like en_US), so I can backport this from CVS.

ca_ES

wait, I'll confirm this to you. Going to try it in en_US

Oops, I forgot. Before showing the error it shows a pop saying:

---------
The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_WindowMenuApplet".
Details: Failed to resolve, or extend '!prefs_key=/apps/panel/profiles/default/applets/window_menu/prefs;background=none:;orient=down;size=x-small;locked_down=false

Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?
----------

With en_US locale it gives the same error, but in english:

--------------
** (gnome-panel:3256): WARNING **: Error in parse: Error on line 94: Character '%' is not valid at the start of an entity name; the & character begins an entity; if this ampersand isn't supposed to be an entity, escape it as &

** (gnome-panel:3256): WARNING **: Error on line 94: Character '-1,073,754,292s not valid at the start of an entity name; the & character begins an entity; if this ampersand isn't supposed to be an entity, escape it as &

I'm using gtk2 2.6.0-1.

May be this.

Could you upload /opt/gnome/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_Wncklet_Factory.server as attachment to this bug or place it somewhere and link it?

I think your file is damaged somehow. You could also try reinstalling gnome-panel using pacman. If that works, you don't have to upload the file, you only have to report it worked so this bug can be closed in that case.

I've uploaded it

Does this problem still exist in the current up2date archlinux? I can't reproduce this and never could. The file you uploaded doesn't seem broken to me.
