Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed Description: When X crashes and I do Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, gnome-panel sometimes comes up with a error "gnome-panel is already running. Will now exit". So, I'm left without any panels. I kill X, run "kill `pgrep gnome-panel`", then run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" and log into Gnome again. gnome-panel starts up, but it hangs -- making it a useless tan strip at the bottom of my screen. I repeat this process until sometimes it finally works -- but sometimes I need to restart my computer to get out of this cycle. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
