Description of problem:
I am using RH7.3 on a Compaq Presario 1690 Notebook (128mb Ram, AMD-K6) and
Gnome. On v. random occasions the Panel crashes is not recoverable by either
logging out, or restarting X (ctrl-alt-backspc).

I have found that the only way to restore the panel is to completely delete the
~/.gnome/panel file and the ~/.gnome/panel.d directory, and to then rebuild the
applets.

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


How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run gnome!
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  After login, core apps loaded panel sub-system not loaded... 

Expected Results:  Expect to see panel sub-system icon and then display of panel
on desktop

Does the panel open a crash dialog? Can you attach the backtrace from there?

Comment 2 Michael Karakashian 2002-06-01 18:38:53 UTC
Unfortunately there is no crash dialog, however I have now noticed that this
happens when open a terminal session with ctrl-alt-1 (for eg) and then init 3,
without logging out of the X session.

Being no crash dialog, I do not get a backtrace.

Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2002-06-01 18:55:40 UTC
You are in X via startx not gdm then, right, or init 3 would log you out.

What is in ~/.xsession-errors right after losing the panel, and then after
logging in post-losing the panel?

panel in Rawhide is totally different code, so bug is unlikely to apply.
