Description Ville Ranki 2005-06-19 12:41:13 UTC

Distribution/Version: Fedora Core 3

1. Log in to Gnome
2. Panel crashes and prompts to restart or close.
3. Both options causes lead to 2.

Distribution is FC3 with some extra repositories. This
started occuring after a update. Panel version is 2.8.1.

Is there any log file or anything to help tracing this bug?

There should be a option to log out in the crash dialog, as
inexperienced user has no way to log out / restart if panel cannot
be run. Also a help text like "If the problem persists, log out and
choose another session (such as KDE) for troubleshooting." would be
good.

One problem at a time, please open a seperate report about your last paragraph.

regarding the crash:
Thanks for the bug report. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard 
to determine what caused it. Can you provide us with one? Please see http://
live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so.
