Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
What happens:
When I start my Karmic 9.10 machine and the desktop loads, gnome-panel
fails to start. I can start it by running "gnome-panel" in terminal.
As a workaround, I have to add "gnome-panel" to the list of "Startup
applications".
I have corresponded with several people on the Ubuntu forums who have
had this same problem, although it seems - surprisingly - that nobody
has reported this as a bug yet (apologies if I'm duplicating an already-
reporting bug here, but I had a search and couldn't find one).
I don't get this problem after a fresh install - only after I have
installed my normal set of programs from the Ubuntu repos and then added
my own icon and GTK 2.0 themes. However - I have got the same problem
on every single install of Karmic 9.10 that I have done (approx 10
installs, between 3 machines) - so it is reproducible every time.
Also, at approximately the same time that Karmic was released, Ubuntu
automatic updates broke gnome-panel on my Jaunty 9.04 install, producing
exactly the same problem.
What should happen:
gnome-panel should start when the desktop is loaded, without manual
intervention from the user.
