Always (4 out of 4 attemps) Additional Information: Debugging Information: Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/gnome-panel' (no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1".

Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, that stack trace is not very useful in determining the cause of the crash. Can you get us one with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so.

Is this information enough? I've installed libgnomeui-dbg, libgtk-dbg, libglib-dbg etc. Is there any other dbg package I need to install? btw: my system is Debian Sid.
Maybe. Reopening for now.
Is gnome-panel-dbg available? :-)
I can't find gnome-panel-dbg. Do I need to install this one? gnome-applets-dbg - Various applets for GNOME 2 panel - binary files with debugging symbols
No, we're only interested in gnome-panel, and not in gnome-applets. What is your distribution?
Vincent, the Debian package have no -dbg variant for gnome-panel, that's Ubuntu specific
Chong: can you follow the steps outlined at http://wiki.debian.org/?HowToGetABacktrace to get a better stack trace? It shouldn't be too hard. If you can't, we probably can find someone who can make a dbg package for you. Thanks,
I will try to do it during the weekends.
I followed the steps you gave, and re-generated the back trace: ---------------------- Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/gnome-panel' Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1". `system-supplied DSO at 0xffffe000' has disappeared; keeping its symbols.

Okay, this bug is fixed since 2.12.1: 2005-09-16 Vincent Untz <vuntz@gnome.org> * panel-properties-dialog.c: (panel_properties_dialog_toplevel_notify): (panel_properties_dialog_background_notif): check the value we got from panel_gconf_basename() * panel-run-dialog.c: (fuzzy_command_match): (panel_run_dialog_add_items_idle): add sanity checks before strcmp() Debian people can either add a patch to the package or you can wait for GNOME 2.12 being uploaded to sid. You can also recompile a package for you with the following patch: http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-panel/gnome-panel/panel-run-dialog.c?r1=1.55&r2=1.56 Thanks for helping us!
