Sebastien, what makes you think that the bug is not related to gnome- panel?
Given the fact that gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel ; pkill gnome-panel fixes it, makes me believe that the bug is triggered by some panel settings and therefore by the behavior of the panel. -- Panel utilities not shown on startup using Matrox gfx https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572550 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
