Do you have nvidia graphics? Can you attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? The .xsession-errors file suggests X is taking a nose dive.

Yes I do have nvidia graphics card. 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 9500 GT (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Something else I discovered... If you do a fresh install or use defaulted user/desktop settings, and try to change color on the bottom panel, it works. It's the top panel (no matter where you have it set to be, top, bottom, etc..) that has the bug when you change the properties to use color. Guess statting, not sure how that is an X server problem, when one panel works, and the other doesn't?
hard for me to say exactly what the trigger is, but clearly X is dying. It seems likely it's the same crash that happens when switching backgrounds for some nvidia users. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 530169 ***
