Description Andrew Clayton 2007-06-05 09:56:11 UTC
Description of problem:

Every now and again gnome-panel seems to lock up. I don't have a lot of stuff in
it. A menu, some icons, task switcher, notification area and a clock.

When it locks up the clock is working but nothing else on the panel is useable.

A strace on gnome-panel during this time shows this

Process 6106 attached - interrupt to quit
futex(0x2b9e1ad99960, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL

A killall -HUP gnome-panel gets it back (restarts it anyway)


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

gnome-panel-2.18.0-9.fc7.x86_64


How reproducible:

Random

I have a similar problem where after a period of time my main menu and icons
(launchers) don't work, but everything else does (workspace switcher, show
desktop, window list, clock).

I am seeing a similar problem too, in my case after a while (i.e. over-night)
the panel locks up and all icon on it disappeared.

Comment 3 Andrew Clayton 2007-06-20 09:47:02 UTC
Just happened again with gnome-panel-2.18.2-2.fc7.x86_64

Comment 4 J.Jansen 2007-06-25 07:08:56 UTC
I see the same on a i686 system using the livna-Nvidia driver. I see exactly
what is described in comment #1. When you blank the screen (i.e. running the
screen saver) the launcher icons and the main menu disappear completely from the
panel. 

On my Lap-top with different hard-ware I have not experienced the problem.

There are many reports of this, which are all being closed now as dup of 213283,
