Package: gnome-panel Version: 2.20.3-5 Severity: important I am running GNOME under VNC. For no obvious reason the panel has recently become unresponsive. To demonstrate I make a .vnc/xstartup containing only 'xterm &', start a vnc session, and connect to it. >From that xterm I can start metacity (or not), and the gnome-panel. The panel appears but doesn't respond to clicks, and if it is obscured (by for instance restarting metacity, so titlebars appear) it does not redraw the obscured part.
Below my system information is a backtrace from running and interrupting under gdb, with gnome-panel-dbg installed. What can I do to debug this?
