Another way to reproduce the problem: open four OpenOffice.org Writer windows. In Writer, click `File: Exit'; this has the effect of closing all four windows in quick succession. The LXDE panel locks up. I've found I can prevent the panel from locking up by removing the task list that comes

Thanks for that Google fodder, Dave: you beat me to it. :-) The workaround for this bug is to download and install Ubuntu (rather than Kubuntu), partitioning your disk(s) as you wish, but allowing a few GiB more in your root partition than you'd normally need. I gave it 15GiB, which was more
