I am trying to deal with this same issue, but I am not able to get the crash report. I get the gnome panel, and all is fine. But when the calendar dropdown is activated, it crashes, then restarts. But the crash does not occur until you click on the calendar. So, I tried to do the back trace that was asked for. But, if I stop the panel, it just restarts because the sesson restarts it. If I shut down the session, well....
So, I tried to alter the debug command as follows: gdb --pid=3170 2>&1 | tee ~/gdb-gnome-panel.txt This locks up everything until the debugger is stopped. No clicks are getting registered, therefore, the crash is being blocked by the program that will identify the crash.... Ouch So, I tried a strace instead to see if it could give you something useful, and it seems to have hit pay dirt. What I did was: strace -p 3170 2>gnome-panel.strace Attached it the output. it clearly identifies the crash, and it is occuring in the calendar-client.c.
