The instructions at http://people.redhat.com/jmoyer were very helpful on
my Mandriva boxes as it would print the pid.  On my Ubuntu Edgy box
though no pids to be found.  :-(

In my case I found two causes:

     1. Having an automounted share in my GTK "bookmarks" was causing a
        ping-pong effect where as soon as it was unmounted, gnome-panel
        wanted to go stat it.  Stupid.
     2. An open Nautilus window and/or a Nautilus desktop icon on/for an
        automounted share was causing the same kind of ping pong.
