Other information: from bug 393563 ------- Comment #6 from Jens Granseuer 2007-01-06 23:49 UTC ------- Trace is much better now. Only way to improve it further would be to recompile glib and gtk+ without optimizations. Anyway, I'll mark this as a duplicate again, since the bug that's been closed contains a lot of other duplicates, but I'll reopen the other bug. Please add all further info to that bug. I'm quite new with linux so can you explain what you mean by: "Only way to improve it further would be to recompile glib and gtk+ without optimizations." I'll do my best to improve my bugreport.

In your trace you can see output like depth = <value optimized out> This means that the compiler was told to optimize the code when the application was built. As a result, the variable (in this case "depth") doesn't exist anymore in the optimized program. To fix this you have to recompile the program (and the libraries of interest, e.g. the "depth" variable is in glib) without optimizations (the -O0 switch to gcc). The best way to recompile a package differs from distribution to distribution, but in this case, I don't think it's worth the effort, unless someone explicitly asks for it. As far as I can see, all the important bits are already in your "optimized" trace. It would be interesting if you could add a more exact step-by-step description of how to reproduce the bug to bug 358044, though.
First of all, I made a copy (.iso) of dvd movie to my computer. When testing if it's working i dragged it to my VLC media player, nothing happened, exept endles extracting. So i stopped extracting and tried it again with right click and extract here. Didn't work any better. Somewhere in the middle of this extracting hazzle I restarted my computer. And then it started... First panels come visible and if I'm quick i can launch my synaptic from my bottom panel before it freezes. Upper panel don't work at all alltough it's visible. I have to close Bug Buddy about ten times before it leaves me alone, that's when the panels disappears too.
I've done some research about other duplicates to bug 358044. Atleast four of them are similar to my case and three of them with .iso -image. 366658 374445 382227 393448
I have two users in my computer, another user-account works fine! Can I reset my panel settings somehow?
You can try removing stuff from under ~/.gnome-2.0 Until we know what's causing the problem it's difficult to know what needs to be removed, though.
I renamed the whole directory... didn't help!
