Yes, thank you; and I did indeed read your comment. However, I couldn't
figure out how to obtain a backtrace using the link you gave me, because
the link doesn't seem to cover these aforementioned situations:

* ... since this happens immediately on reboot and I don't manually run
gnome-panel, how should I run it [gdb] to get the backtrace?

* I managed to reproduce it [the bug] by being connected at reboot via
ethernet, then removing the ethernet cable so that the password prompt
window appeared. At this point I tried to attach gdb, but I could not
send keyboard input to an open console when I selected it - all keyboard
input went to the gnome-keyring window, no matter where the mouse
pointer was or what I clicked on.


I'm still not convinced a backtrace would be of any help, since gnome-
panel does not actually crash, and the purpose of a backtrace seems to
be when an application has crashed. Please correct me if I've
misunderstood!

I figure an strace would be probably be more useful, but I'm not sure
how to attach it to the relevant process since I don't have keyboard
control at the point where the window appears.
