Other information:
The problem goes away if I drop gnome-session from 2.13.5 or 2.13.4 to 2.12.0
but happens 100% of the time with either 2.13 version. I'm running Gentoo
2005.1/AMD64/xorg-x11-7.0/2.6.15-ck1.
Comment 1 Christian Kirbach 2006-01-19 21:06:41 UTC 
good trace, confirming.
Comment 2 Vincent Untz 2006-01-20 21:40:54 UTC 
Jose: can you attach your ~/.recently-used file here?
Comment 3 Vincent Untz 2006-01-20 21:45:26 UTC 
Really looks like a bug in libegg, in egg-recent-view-gtk.c: in egg_recent_view_gtk_add_to_menu(), we should check if the menu_item we get is NULL. It's probably some kind of broken ~/.recently-used file causing this, but hey, we have to not break :-)
Comment 4 Jose M. daLuz 2006-01-20 21:59:24 UTC 
Created attachment 57756 [details]
.recently-used
Comment 5 Jose M. daLuz 2006-01-20 22:12:31 UTC 
After uploading it, I renamed .recently-used, updated gnome-session from 2.12.0 to 2.13.5 and restarted my session -- no more gnome-panel crashes. Thanks!

And yes, it looks like the .recently-used file was broken -- files going back for months were listed in there, but not in Places->Recent Documents.
Comment 6 Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) 2006-01-21 00:47:33 UTC 
thanks jose, thanks vincent. should be fixed in recent-files HEAD.

2006-01-21  Emmanuele Bassi  <ebassi@cvs.gnome.org>

	* libegg/recent-files/egg-recent-view-gtk.c
	(egg_recent_view_gtk_add_menu): check whether we've got a menu item
	or not, before actually using it.
Comment 7 Vincent Untz 2006-01-21 07:27:08 UTC 
FWIW, the bug happened because the URI for cdda:///dev/hdc was NULL (since cdda: is not supported anymore)
