Ahh, that's not a crash, that's a freeze. My mother was experiencing those for a while, so I gave her Yakuake, wrote a little script I put at /usr/local/bin/reset_lxpanel, and taught her to use <F12>reset_lxpanel<Enter>
My solution was basically the same as Geoffrey's except that, since she's using Lubuntu, the command was "killall -9 lxpanel; sleep 1; lxpanel --profile Lubuntu" If Yakuake is too heavy for you, you could also use the "kuake" plugin for urxvt. My config to enable that is at https://github.com/ssokolow/profile/blob/master/home/.Xresources if you want an example.
