Yes this bug occurs a after a random time. Very annoying. When it happens I have a very clumsy solution for it: CTRL-ALT-F1(or F2, F3,....) login as root pkill gnome-panel And then CTRL-ALT F7 or CTRL-ALT F9 (depending where the graphical X session is) Then you have a working desktop again. $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
