The same thing is happening to me. It started happening on upgrade to Natty. Before that everything was working just fine. Is there any traction on this issue?

The desktop was there but the application menu and the open windows bar at the bottom were not there. I tried running more updates and then finally figured out it was gnome-panel. When run from the terminal it loads fine with these warnings: ** Message: Could not connect to session manager: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SessionManager': no such name ** (gnome-panel:2346): WARNING **: Could not connect to session manager: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SessionManager': no such name Let me know what I can do to help.
