This is a frequently reported bug in gnome-panel. It should have been fixed a long time ago in FC2 erratum however. The error message indicating it is an X server bug is incorrect. Reassigning to gnome-panel component.
Its actually gnome-settings-daemon (in control-center)
Please see : bug 125365, comment 8
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
This is probably related to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606
Comment #1 implies that this still affects devel/rawhide. Can someone confirm that? Thanks.
