I have a similar (identical?) problem with intermittent panel freezes at
boot. I found that I can recover the panel functionality with two steps
that you may wish to try. This works 100% of the time on my machine.
Access a terminal (Ctl-Alt-F1) and execute the following command;
$ killall gnome-panel
the second step is to return to the desktop (Ctl-Alt-F7) and open a "Run
application" window (Alt-F2) and execute the command;
$ gnome-panel --replace
Your panels and system should be completely functional now. Do not use a
desktop terminal for the second command - the process will hang in a
terminal. See Bug #466118 for more comments.
Hope this works for you too...
