Same problem here - very frustrating problem indeed. Thankfully I found this report. Deleting everything in ~/.gconf/apps/panel fixed my problem.
This happened when I was trying to reorder the items in the top panel. I think I accidentally selected "Delete this panel" when I meant to just move an item. I was over the notification area, so it's possible that I removed that though. Either way I ended up with unusable horrible crashing panels which made everything on the screen bounce. I am using two monitors, latest Nvidia driver, and I do have some accessibility stuff turned on. -- Gnome panels continuously crash, then reload https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/465464 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
