I had this pop up a couple times win 9.10, and it was usually fixed with
a reboot. Just had it crop up again in 10.04 and no amount of rebooting
fixed. I had to create a launcher on the desktop to run gnome-panel.

Unfortunately I have been unable to find a possible cause for the bug you are
experiencing on Karmic. However, I have been told by another bug triager (more
experienced than I am) that the fact that this problem seems to be resolved in
Lucid qualifies it for the Fix Released
@Draycen - I've been scratching my head trying to work out the cause of
this bug.
Do you have an ideas about what might be corrupted, to cause this
problem? Is there a particular config file in ~/home that I can try
recreating to see if I can fix it? Or is there a particular
process/daemon that
@itsjustarumour
There is one possibility I started to wonder about last night. This is
admittedly a shot in the dark, but one of the changes in the gnome-panel Change
Log for Ubuntu Lucid is some changes to prevent crashes due to Xrandr. I was
just recently working on another report that ended
@Draycen - OK, heres my xorg.conf There doesn't actually seem to be
very much in there...
This is for my main NVidia-based desktop machine btw (I can't give you

Karmic updates hosed GRUB 1.97~beta4 and right now I can't mount

Hm, that doesn't seem to be the issue at hand. Well, one thing you could
try is installing the latest version of gnome-panel on your Karmic
install and seeing if that resvolves the issue. If it does, then we will
at least know for sure that it is the gnome-panel package that is the
problem. If
@Draycen - Hmm, I had a look at the latest gnome-panel .deb package but
it needs 35 dependency packages installing as well and the too scary
light has come on, as this is now my only functioning Karmic system at
the moment and I need it for doing real work on so I'm a bit worried
about breakage...
Very understandable. I forgot to look at the dependencies before
suggesting you install that version. Let me do some more research over
the next few days and I will let you know if I find anything.

that is a good thing or not in this case!) I don't have any updates,

@Draycen. Hello again.
No joy with Jaunty 9.10 I'm afraid, I was hoping I might have time to do

Thank you, you're right that Trev and Mike seem to be having a different

break Lucid - but so far I can't replicate this bug.
