My panel is freezing fairly reliably. I can force it to freeze by adding a bookmark in the gtk file chooser.
I have seen this also
any bookmark? a remote one? a remote one, and only when you are offline?
Local bookmark from what I have seen. Open up gedit Go to file|open... Select a folder Hit the add button The panel should crash
I can pinpoint this bug to networked folders. Adding /bin to the bookmarks works fine. Adding anything from my home directory crashes the panel. My home directory is NFS mounted. Also bookmarking a folder from an sftp virtual mount causes the panel to crash.
This is fixed for me in rawhide.
