This just affected me as well. I did nothing more than reboot on my desktop. Curious tho, before the startup there was a disktest that happened before Ubuntu started up , then I noticed my programs, some not all, were on the right hand side of the panel. Volume and notifier stayed put. 2 programs I can quit, the networking status icon stays put tho. My display is at 1680x1050.
