This has been annoying me also since the upgrade to Lucid. It does not affect Guest or other users on the same machine.
For me the simplest fix was to remove (or rename, in case you need to revert) ~/.gconf/apps/panel. The downside is then losing all the other shortcut icons I have placed on the panel over time - but that is easy enough to restore - probably needed a cleaup anyhow. I did this after exiting from the X session and logging in on the console (Ctrl-Alt-F1). All looks good again now. Thanks for the hint.
