startx.log when blinking panel

Description of problem:

The desktop appears, but the panel is blinking only (it is blank, has no panel
items).
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace kills the desktop.
I repeated it few times with the same effect.
Machine reboot cleared the problem.
This has happened multiple times so far in F15 (both with GUI and text startup
of LXDE).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

lxpanel.i686             0.5.6-2.fc15           @koji-override-0/$releasever

How reproducible:

start LXDE

Steps to Reproduce:
1. $ startx > ~/.startx.log 2>&1
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

blank and blinking panel

Expected results:

functional panel

Did this behavior ever appear again? is ot possible that the panel was crashing in a loop and got restarted by lxsession all the time? Please check this the next time this happens.

As I said I have seen it happening since I installed F15, every 1-2 weeks, last
time when I filed this report.

How to check it ?
'ps' command from another tty ? - what to 'grep' for ?
capture ~/.startx.log or ~/.xsession-errors from another tty ?

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 19:47:55 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
