I only saw this issue after upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy 8.04. Panels will either disappear entirely, or remain on-screen with absolutely no functionality. When they break in this manor, the panels are no more than images.
I suspect this occurs when a system is heavily loaded, but that is only supposition. My fix has been to create a desktop icon tied to the panels command. This works, but it is a real hack. -- Disappearing panels/menus in Xubuntu (Dapper, Feisty, Gutsy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/53897 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
