First, now I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 64bit and bug is confirmed with this version also.
Bad hang up, attached gdb didn't take any commands while gnome-panel was in infinite loop. Also whole desktop was pretty much useless. But I managed (somehow, I don't know what I did to get it work) to open terminal from mouse right click menu (customised menu). >From there I did kill gdb (gnome-panel didn't die), launched gconf-editor, removed extra panel and finally kill gnome-panel. Anyway I attached result I got from gdb. I don't know how to fix gnome-panel configs from live-cd if needed, and I'm not sure power off shutdown is good thing anyway. So, I'm not very thrilled to do any experimentation anymore with this issue. I think this bug is due two panels racing to get focus, refresh, or so on... as they are in same place!
