Description K. Pili 2003-05-25 04:31:32 UTC 
The panel never displays under Sawfish2. Trying to run it from a terminal
results in an error stating that a running panel was detected. However none
it ever seen, but no errors are reported.

Can you try running
   ps -ef | grep gnome-panel
and
   killall gnome-panel
if the first command shows any panels are running?

Also, you added the GNOMEVER2.2 keyword but set the version to 2.3.x.
 Which is correct?  You list your OS Details as 2.4.19--could you
mention your distribution?  Thanks.

Here are the results of ps: 
  3882     1  0 11:56 ?        00:00:00 gnome-panel 
--sm-config-prefix /gnome-panel-FoOTaB/ --sm-client-id 
117f000002000105383196800000275360002 --screen 0 --profile default 
 
"Killall gnome-panel" seems to do something. So I ran ps again: 
 
   3925     1  4 11:58 ?        00:00:00 gnome-panel 
--sm-config-prefix /gnome-panel-FoOTaB/ --sm-client-id 
117f000002000105383196800000275360002 --screen 0 --profile default 
 
I am running a heavily patched version of SuSE (from 6.4 to 8.1). The 
gnome-panel version is 2.3.2. I actually tried 2.2.x before with no better 
luck.

Okay, then I'll update the GNOMEVER2.2 keyword to GNOMEVER2.3, and
I'll try to provide a slightly more detailed summary.  I'm also going
to add the bugsquad keyword.

Please see my comment in #109374 about installing the panel's default
setup.
