Having had this reoccur several times now, I've realised that the bug is somewhat simpler than I'd thought. I can crash the panel on-demand if I try to open Opera using gAIM's "Open Mail" facility when signing into MSN Messenger. The panel only crashes the first time this command is selected - signing out of gAIM and back in, and then selecting "open mail" seems to cause no problems, and re-running Opera causes no problems at any other time. Note that this problem has only started occurring recently, and may be to do with playing with kernel options, updates grabbed from Red Carpet. Thanks very much for your time, if any additional info or testing is required, I'd be more than happy to help.

I think this sounds suspiciously similar to #59500. Sigh.
And is a variant of the same bug *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 59500 ***
