Description of problem: For the past few days, the launchers and menu will spontaneously disappear from the panel. If I kill the panel, it restarts correctly with them, only to have them disappear an hour or two later. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.17.91-5.fc7
Bill, are you still seeing this ?
I noticed this problem with rawhide fully updated to 2007-03-31 state. However it doesn't happen so frequently, just once since yesterday. When it happened, the fast-user-switcher and time/date applet still works but every other thing on the top panel disappeared.
At one point a week or so ago, I saw it. I haven't upgraded recently.
