M. Bacher: Je m'excuse.
To clarify the bug. Let's suppose that we have installed Ubuntu 7.04 and have booted. We now want to have three desktops instead of one. We right-click on the desktop in the lower left hand corner and then click on preferences. On the menu that comes up, we change 'number of desktops' to three. We then close the menu and do some other things without bothering to change desktops--by default we are on the first desktop and now have two more. We close the computer down and then reboot. We now click on desktop three as the first thing we do. The gnome-panel about 50% of the time crashes: we no longer have the lower panel--no desktops, no nothing. Often we even lose the icons on the desktop area. The desktop area is blank. On the upper panel, when we click on 'system' nothing happens. When we click on the upper right hand corner (upper panel) to power down gracefully and restart, nothing happens. Sometimes we even lose the upper panel completely. We are obliged to hard power down the computer (power on/off button) and then reboot. When we do the hard power off, the screen we immediately see before the power off is a log that says that the computer is running the boot-time scripts. I really don't know enough to know if that is significant. Sometimes, however, the whole thing works properly. The problem I have with doing a backtrace and sending the log is how to attach the gdb module to the gnome-panel in such a way that it is automatically attached once the computer is booted, so that I can then replicate the sequence of events that lead to the crash; and how I can be certain to find the log because as soon as the gnome-panel crashes the computer is completely unusable and must be rebooted. Thanks very much. Lost In The Woods --- Sebastien Bacher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Your bug description is not clear.
