I think I've encountered the same bug, so here are some details. > Please explain your problem in more detail. > Did it happen after an upgrade?
I've stumbled on it after yesterday sid dist-upgrade. A snippet of dpkg.log for that is attached. > Do you get any related error messages in ~/.xsession-errors? (gnome-panel:5802): Gdk-WARNING **: /build/buildd-gtk+2.0_2.24.5-2-amd64-N7Pg6p/gtk+2.0-2.24.5/gdk/x11/gdkdrawable-x11.c:952 drawable is not a pixmap or window Upon every start. This also happens when no trasparency or background images are set. I suspect this is due to some icon, maybe. > Any other error messages? When opening the property dialog, I get (gnome-panel:5802): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to get constuct only property adjustment of opacity_scale with value `adjustment1' and the trasparency slider is unusable. > Do you have you gnome-panel set to transparent? Yes, at least in my case. That seems to be cause that won't let gnome-panel load. > Maybe it's duplicate of #633573 It seems so, as the CPU was also completely busy behind gnome-panel and applets. What's different in this bug, though, is that the panel won't even appear. So you get a overloaded machine and a non-working DE, ie. the system is unusable. It may be worthy raising the severity of this bug, to avoid leaving other users with a broken desktop. As a workaround, I had to change /apps/panel/toplevels/bottom_panel_screen0/background type and opacity manually, via gconf-editor, in order to get back to an usable state.
