The crash just happened randomly. I ran it with gdb previously for many times, but no useful information was got. It kept crash randomly and causes random flickers without known cause. The notification area spec is just too complicated to understand. Since gnome-panel's systray works flawlessly, the fastest and safest way is to port it to lxpanel. Fixing existing code is beyond my ability and my searches for the cause were in vain. Anyways, we need a cure to this no matter what's the real cause. After hours of porting, the gnome-panel one is working for lxpanel. It works well and I haven't encounter crashes and the flickers improved a lot. I don't know what's wrong with the original one, but the new one ported from gnome works well.
