Thanks. If this is still happening try doing the following from the command line: 1) gnome-session-remove gnome-panel 2) /usr/libexec/wncklet 3) from another terminal do GNOME_PANEL_DEBUG=1 gnome-panel And paste any error messages you see here. If wncklet-applet is segfaulting, see: http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/wiki/index.cgi/StackTraces for how to get a stack trace.
The problem disappear after I deleted the applet and re-install after a few reboots. I will collect the info when this happen again. Thanks for the help.
Okay, thanks
