I was plagued by this random bug several times with Ubuntu 8.10, and it is a bit better with 9.04. I use a vertical panel on the right side 32 pixels wide.
I was so upset when it happend on Ubuntu 8.10 that I removed the clock app. But after calming down I added it again and set it to show the seconds, to make it easier to see if its frozen. Last time my panel froze was right after an update via the "update manager". The clock freezes but you can still right click it and get the properties dialog. And if you switch back an forth the state of "show seconds" it unfreezes. -- gnome panel keeps freezing randomly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332563 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
