I can almost instantaneously reproduce this crash on Debian GNU/Linux
Sid as of 2004-02-03 using gnome-panel 2.4.2 (Debian package
gnome-panel , version 2.4.2-2).
Comment 2 Kjartan Maraas 2004-02-03 06:24:37 UTC 
I get hangs with OO.o and .recently-used in 2.5.x latest too. Could
this be related to the stuff that was reverted in egg-recent?
