I don't see anything indicator-applet related in the stack trace, and in theory, the gnome-panel binary should protected from anything that indicator-applet could do via Bonobo. So it seems unlikely that something in the indicator-applet itself could be the cause. I was curious about the patch that we've applied to hide the system items when indicator-applet-session gets removed. The reason I think it may be suspect is that the crash is happening in panel applet remove, but the function is gtk_widget_show() -- it's atypical that you'd show something on a destroy. But, infact that's what the FUSA patch does when FUSA is removed. It looks like the gtk_widget_show() is being called directly from the marshaller, which would mean that the show function itself would need to be the callback function. All of the signal handlers in the patch use a wrapper function to check which applet is being requested. But, it's possible that the compilers is doing a tail-recursion optimization... All in all, that's a long way of saying: I'm not sure what's causing this. But I think that the system item removal patch is suspect. It could be made more bullet-proof in that it could attach signal handlers to the widgets to ensure they aren't destroyed anytime. I'm not sure why that'd be happening though, and why would wouldn't have seen this on Jaunty and Intrepid as well. And it seems like a big change for a Karmic update.
