I made a test user account and while the panel appearance was slightly different the result was the same. Excessive CPU usage and a locked panel. ALT+F2 terminal -> kill X fixed it. So whatever it is is instantly reproducible on my machine.
If doing the same on any other machine does not reproduce this bug I guess it is specific to my system and I simply will not try to do it in the future. Had it worked I did like it. Thank you for your timely response. --- On Tue, 6/29/10, Milan Bouchet-Valat <[email protected]> wrote: From: Milan Bouchet-Valat <[email protected]> Subject: [Bug 599462] Re: gnome-panel did not start properly after I moved it To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, June 29, 2010, 6:22 AM Looks like a gnome-panel bug, since it's the program using CPU. But if you're not able to reproduce it, we cannot do anything but close the bug! What happens if you retry the same operation, e.g. from a separate user accout? For the record, when trying to debug, you should move configuration directories instead of removing them, since we would need them to find the problem. For the sound control, add the indicator applet to the panel. -- gnome-panel did not start properly after I moved it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599462 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 1) Ubuntu 9.10 - the Karmic Koala 2) gnome-panel Version 1:2.28.0-0ubuntu6 3) I expected it to work. 4) I moved the top gnome panel to the bottom of the screen on top of the other panel then set it to autohide. It worked fine when I did it. When I turned my computer on this morning (cold start) I just got a blank gray bar at the bottom of my screen and gnome-panel was using 76% of my CPU resources! Top load average over 4. I had to delete all of my gnome configuration file directories in my home directory in order to restore my session to a usable state. CTRL+ALT+Backspace to kill X then into KDE It was *BAD*! BTW KDE4 is still ugly. Additional information: This bug is probably specific to my machine old nvidia card binary drivers (V .96) etc. I also have problems with any "Visual Effects" so I always leave that set to "None". Still this was almost a total show stopper so I figured I'd report it. I'd prefer not trying to duplicate it either. I still can't figure out how to get the sound control back onto my indicator-applet. Thanks for looking.
