Many people use either one or the other flavor, I am pretty sure I would have noticed if we met such an issue, especially since we have forums dedicated to the different pclinuxos flavors and I visit them regularly. I have put up the Openbox with Lxpanel versions myself, and tested them plus had quite a bunch of people testing them directly on the forum for a while before it was uploaded to the repositories or for the latest ones declared good for all by the testers. Is it possible to figure out why some meet with issues in one distribution and users in another don't ? To the persons who met with crashes or freezes : have you had a look at the file ~/.xsession-errors just after the issue arise or if you don't have one did you manage to have a command likely to generate one ? From within ~/.xinitrc for instance ?
