I made a post not long ago about LXPanel freeze  & LibreOffice. Some
nice people on the list gave me a workaround [closing the LiO documents
in the same order I opened them]

Now, since Fedora LXDE 13, I am annoyed by a bug: I lose keyboard input
in a Java application (Freemind) after a few minutes.

I found a similar bug on Launchpad, see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/481656

and I opened one with my distribution, see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=800736

To finally find out that: LXPanel is once again the culprit. At least
on my system. Removing the ibus panel icon from the panel is a
workaround (great!).

I am not sure if my configuration is in cause? I use 2 input languages,
I rely on i-bus only. And i did not configure keyboard input as in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=710496

But, I use 2 (very) old notebooks. Same OS and settings. The one with an
Intel GPU is not affected at all with any of the LXPanel problems
related here. The other -- old pentium VI, Ati 900 Mobility -- is a
"LXPanel bug magnet".

Bug 710496 is a little difficult to follow. I am not positive that a
Xorg file would solve the issues I encounter (LiO, Ibus, and Firefox
panel icons - so far). But I welcome some advice.

Else, will the situation of the LXPanel improve on Fedora 17 LXDE,
or the next Lubuntu release, or not yet? Although, I do like LXDE over
XFCE, the lxpanel is such a long standing annoyance on this particular
notebook, I might try XFCE[1] as DE for my next install? here to I
welcome some feedback if some of you also use XFCE.

Thank you.

[1] if it solves the panel problems.
