I am having exactly the same issue on 32bit Gutsy with compiz enabled: after logging in the bottom panel is missing. Click the desktop anywhere and it appears.
Also, it looks like this bug was also reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/151198 -- panel missing on startup (gutsy beta compiz) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151130 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
