Description numberwhun 2003-04-03 22:26:14 UTC

When clicking on the button to open the gnome-panel, the opening crashes
the panel and produces the following error:

----  Begin error ---------------

Application "gnome-panel" (process 1036) has crashed due to a fatal
error. (Segmentation Fault)

----  End error  ----------------


This happens quite often throughout operation.  It seems to be a
definate occourance upon first booting.  Through continued use during
the day, it will happen several times.  The panel usually recovers
itself, but has required a reboot several times as it could not be
brought back up.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Simply click on the gnome-panel to open it for program selection. The
crash happens when it is trying to render itself open.
2. To reproduce, go about normal operations.  It usually crashes several
times a day.


How often does this happen?

Frequently several times a day.
