The reason why this issue didn't appear for 32-bit was that I hadn't deactivated the globalmenu the same way as for 64-bit.
When I also deactivated it for 32-bit by setting UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 this issue appeared. Probably a dup of bug #953479 ** Description changed: This bug has been reported ealier but with no crash report but here's one attached. Problem: Opening an application, e.g firefox, causes the unity panel to crash. The panel however recovers just to crash again, aso. After a while it stabalizes but just with a few indicators left in the panel. I removed the package indicator-appmenu and the panel showed up correctly again. Workaround: Remove indicator-appmenu Other: - I have Precise running on both 32- and 64-bit machines but in my case the issue only appears for 64bit. - - I've also tried to downgrade libglib-2.0 to version 2.31.20-0ubuntu2 as - it is part in the trace but no luck. + I've also tried to downgrade libglib-2.0 to version 2.31.20-0ubuntu2 as it is part in the trace but no luck.
