Thanks for the bug report. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused the crash. Please see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/getting-traces.cgi for more information about getting a useful stack trace.

Robert: does it still happen? If so, can you install the gnome-panel debug package?
Yes it still happens the gnome panel just crashes when I start it. Not sure if some configuration file is the cause for this or some borged theme. I'll see if I can install the required package and get it to work. What information do you then require?
It'd be great if you could install the package corresponding to your version of gnome-panel: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/i386/debug/gnome-panel-debuginfo-2.4.2-3.i386.rpm http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/debug/gnome-panel-debuginfo-2.4.0-3.i386.rpm And then just copy and paste the stack trace you'll get in bug-buddy. The new stack trace will be more useful. Thanks
Lets hope this helps! ;o)

Hrm... Did you restart the panel? Can you try renaming ~/.recently-used and see if it still happens?
You've got to be kidding! I renamed ~/.recently-used and voila the bloody thing works. Is this some known bug erm I mean feature? ;o)
Known gnome-vfs bug. Fedora people need to upgrade to the latest gnome-vfs 4.2.x
