Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-panel
System: Ubuntu 8.04 hardy 64bit Reproduce: start hardy in safe mode and select "root drop to root shell prompt". Then type 'sudo startx' (does not work without sudo even though root?). Gnome starts gnome-panel appears and then disappears before it can be interacted with. I then created a launcher for gnome-terminal and ran gnome-panel from there to get this output.
