I have been running Ubuntu on my system since 2004 or 2005. The gnome- panel freeze began 2 or 3 years in. I have applied Paskma's patch in the past to fix the problem, and this works very well. The only problem, however, was that this created an error when I wanted to update to 9.10 recently. The updater was unable to locate the ubuntu-minimum package. I figured that this was likely due to the fact that I had patched libwnck and gnome-panel which were likely part of the ubuntu- minimum package. Indeed, when I manually updated these libwnck and gnome-panel, the updater had no trouble in updating. The gnome-panel vertical freeze is still an issue, however, and I will likely reapply Paskma's patches.
