Switching control themes (using System -> Preferences > Appearance -> Customize) I can reproduce this bug. When virtual memory usage is > 1.8GB I get the exact error message: Could not launch application Failed to fork (Cannot allocate memory). Temp. solution: killall -9 gnome-panel (again for lazy googlers)
