From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pl-PL; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 Description of problem: gnome-panel application crashes with "fatal error" message during XWindow+GNOME startup after some customization of settings done Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.0.6-9 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: Problem happens every time I start XWindow with GNOME, but supposly there is no easy way to reproduce this problem in another system. That's why I choose "Sometimes" option. It started to happen after I little bit customized gnome-panel settings - content, behavior and screen placement. Moreover, it happened for the first time after restarting XWindow, not during gnome-panel configuration. Shortly speaking, what I did is: 1. Customized gnome-panel settings. 2. Closed XWindow session and started it again. Then found the problem. Actual Results: I get message window, that you'll find in URL included. Expected Results: gnome-panel running properly Additional info: Some investigation on X server logs gave me following error message, that can be useful: system-tray-applet-ERROR **: file obox.c: line 107 (get_class): should not be reached aborting...
I believe I can confirm this bug ... I changed my Gnome Panel location from the bottom to the right side of the desktop ... session continued to function normally until the next time I logged in, at which point I received an error window - 'Application "gnome-panel" (process 1001) has crashed due to a fatal error. (Aborted)' from which I had no path to clean recovery ... I had to power down and log in as a different user to do anything. Repeatable on two separate RH 8.0 systems. - email nmumbach or nmumbach
