After I submitted the report, the panel blinked, then reappeared, then began to function again. But the rhn-applet was missing. It is possible that the crash had something to do with a notification but I don't think so, since the latest notification if for a package I do not have. If I find anything else after I re-start gnome, I'll report again. (But now that it is working I need to work on what I was working on.) When I said I was doing "nothing in particular" when it crashed, I should have said, "writing email in a terminal window".
Yeah, this looks like the mysterious gtk+ crash that is showing up everywhere [See specifically bug 105745 for more info]. A number of people are getting this (although very infrequently), but the stack traces are unfortunately useless and we don't know how to reproduce the problem. Can you get a stacktrace with symbols for us? [If you're using RedHat 9, you can do so with the following easy method; otherwise this will require recompiling from source: Install http://people.redhat.com/otaylor/tmp/gtk2-debuginfo-2.2.1-4.i386.rpm and if the problem occurs again, submit the backtrace you get. Installing the debuginfo package will make the backtrace much more useful.] I am adding myself to the cc and marking as needinfo for now.
I've installed the gtk-debuginfo rpm. Now lets hope I get the crash again. (It is pretty harmless, really.)
Marking this as a duplicate.
