Description Carlos Fenollosa 2004-12-28 18:42:43 UTC

Panel crashes and it is impossible to reload. Always crashes.

I deleted all gconf and gnome config, but no luck. I noticed that if I
create a new user and run a gnome session, it does not crash.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into
our bug tracking system, but the maintainer(s) are looking for more information
to track down the problem.  Could you answer the question in bug 157723?

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 157723 ***

Comment 3 Carlos Fenollosa 2004-12-28 19:04:34 UTC

okay, I discovered the source of the crash. Deleting ~/.recently-used solves the
problem. Took me about two hours to discover :(

I don't know if it's panel's fault, but an infinite crash isn't nice. How about
a crash handler (or exception, don't know how it is called) for reading
.recently-used ?

greetings
