I cannot note what events make the panel loop because I can't redirect the output of the terminal to a file.
Concerning the backtrace, I obtain this : (gdb) thread apply all bt Thread 1 (Thread -1225189712 (LWP 14482)): #0 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb758166b in poll () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #2 0xb76f4e85 in g_main_context_check () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #3 0xb76f51fc in g_main_loop_run () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #4 0xb7a23c62 in gtk_main () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #5 0x080635ef in main (argc=1, argv=0xbfcd7564) at main.c:92 #0 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall () (gdb) I don't know if it's useful.
