Hello Ron G,
dusktrader actually gave us a serious hint : he said he didn't have the
problem if not upgrading the vesa drivers. And in Karmic Alpha 1, it's
likely to be another vesa driver version. As Charlie didn't run into the bug
while testing Jaunty, we just learnt about it right now. I will
If you are able to get the latest mesa drivers added to the 9.04 repo,
please let me know and I will be happy to reinstall Jaunty on a separate
harddrive on my hardware and confirm if it helps.
Also, when I have time next week I will install Karmic and confirm the
results with my hardware.

As a temporary workaround, here is how you can get your panel to start.

xubuntu-desktop is a meta-package, that is, it pulls in all the packages

changing the system. So, it is not removing all the packages needed by
